Tell me haven't you come across posts during your Curation period that have been written brilliantly but have no comments on it? What's the use of that blog when no one's reading it?

That’s true. There are a lot of users on the platform who have gained recognition only after their posts have been curated by sC01 for a long time.

From @frequantum’s view I think upvoting a quality content will actually help it to become more popular and more people will engage with it.

The rule of people having to comment on your posts will only make it harder for some people to write under your theme.
