I get a lot of auto-votes on my posts from accounts which no longer seem active. I like the votes, but I'd also like to know actual people read what I wrote. Boosting real engagement is great, but we also have problems with comment spammers who try to game the system with vague compliments to farm upvotes, too. I don't know what the solution is, but commentrewarder indicates both author and commenter engagement.
RE: Could @commentrewarder and @reward.app improve curation?
