Threw the Explore data into Excel and sorted it, here are some top 10. Not saying these are relevant but anyway!

I don't know if the payout also includes comments paid out on. If so, this is not so meaningful. But anyway, this is the top 10 categories for average payout on each post.

Comments per post is kinda interesting. Maybe you want more comments, it means more discussion and you get more replies to your comments as well as interested authors replying on their posts and also more curation rewards. On the other hand, it could make you harder to be seen.
If you're more interested in the bottom 10 so that your comments stand out in the post, check these out:

Now I'm not sure again how payout is calculated. If it includes curation then maybe the top 10 here makes sense. This would mean these are the highest paid categories to comment in. Again, maybe not though.
Hope you enjoyed these ratios and let me know also below what you think!
