It's probably the same for the me, I must have earned a fair bit once all those $0.025 comment upvotes were added up! Probably more than I do from curation now. 

However I always felt that the true value of most comments was much nearer to 0 than to 3 cents, so I've no problem with the new system! 

If you hold 100 comment coins and use the tag "cc", your commenters will be awarded one free token per comment.  It's a way of showing appreciation without draining vp.

The EIP definitely deincentivizes upvoting comments.  I stopped after the fork.  Voting comments is basically guaranteeing a 50% penalty on vote value...why wouldn’t I save it and try to maximize my earnings by using that power to vote on a post that is at (or I believe will be at) threshold?

Now, that is selfish and only “in it for the money,” but hey, people respond to incentives!  Of course I’m going to try and act in my own rational self-interest, otherwise I would be betraying my role as a market participant.

I try (not always great about it though) to give SE tokens instead.  I mean, I truly appreciate interaction and want to reward it...not sure if it’s a fair swap, but I didn’t make the rules.

It's a shame that people are only here to destroy a good thing. Stick to it and keep on keeping on.
Always take the higher ground, keep your head down and Steem on!

I keep throwing a small upvote on comments. It serves several purposes, a bookmark for me to see that I have replied, a hope to trigger dustsweeper... And even though it doesn't give a reward, it is still a nice gesture of affirmation! After all, not every thing needs to have a monetisation chat component!

I used to regularly upvote comments myself back when they counted but I didnt really see a lot of upvotes on comments and have got used to the change I guess
but Like you I do rely on Ginabot when she goes down I feel lost lOL

Well... it is what it is. Comments have other value and that was so before, as well. The occasional vote on them was just a bonus for me. And it still can be. But I do feel some adjustment in that regard is due. Maybe lowering the dust barrier.

Yeah .... I notice that my Author Rewards have dwindled to almost zero. Thank God I have found few new places where I can earn a little money for all my work.

I never used Gina, but I do upvote comments I value on my own posts. It may only be 2c, but the person will get something and it gives their rep a small boost. If the Steem price goes up I can give a little more :)
