Why does it discourage commenting?
By common sense I would say, if you comment and do not contribute, you would not win anything since I do not think they will give you an upvote.
Would this affect the trust factor or am I wrong?
Yes if you don't comment, you don't get rewards.
Only your upvoting affects your upvote trust.
You mean writing posts about more niche and more out there content harms my own trust? That would apply to me as well, I made quite a few more offtopic and out there posts.
Comments deeper in a thread discussing something as well.
If you comment or post and no one upvotes it, it doesn't harm your trust ... it only means you won't receive reward for it. You don't get punished for it - simply not rewarded.
thanks for explaining this, I was worried that niche topics could be harmful for your trust
Interesting, it discourages commenting because yes and without contributing anything.
For my part, I go in every day to see if there is something interesting to read and I win some sats. It will be time to see what changes with this new algorithm. 👀
