I would also like to see more encouragement to vote on comments like they seem to promote in the lEO community.

Me too, though it needs to be tempered with DVs. It requires removing the curve "tax" which I think is currently at about 16 Hive to get over, quite a lot. This becomes more relevant the higher price goes, as if you imagine that if Hive was 2 dollars, a payout would be "taxed" all the way up to 24 dollars. At two dollar Hive, I would be happy to give 5 percent votes like now, which will be almost 50 cents. That should be encouraged and I reckon @blocktrades might be open to the idea of removing the curve if there is support to.

Although I do enjoy reading many of the higher paid out accounts I think they are rewarded well enough. (Again sorry).

This is as it should be. Again, with higher price Hive, I am hoping for trending to have 1000 dollar posts, but the total distribution to be far wider.

What encourages me most is that I am not alone in my concerns regarding the autovotes.

It takes time to change cultural norms.
