What is Topcomment?

The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.

Read all about it in the following blog (also in Spanish!):

Alltime totals

I've started the Topcomment curation initiative on december 16, 2024.
The total number of upvoted comments since the startup is: 1832

The following table show the Hivers that have been upvoted the most.
You can see the number of upvotes in total, the change in ranking compared to last week and the increased number of comments since last week.

The top 3 have increased have all gained some extra upvotes. They keep engaging well!
At the bottom we have a new entry with @alonicus

Thanks everyone for engaging!

If you want to have a mention when you are on this list or want to be mentioned in every weekly update post from @topcomment, just let me know in the comment section!

Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?

Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.

Here are the current guidelines:

Do's

1. Put effort in the comment
Be sure you have put some effort in creating a longer comment. There is no exact number, but a comment that is just a few words long won't get upvoted.

2. React to the content of the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author’s ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.

No upvotes for

1. Comments with hate speech, racism, conspiracy theories or other negative reactions
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.

2. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.

3. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.

4. Comments that already have significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.

5. Giveaways or contest entries
There are some initiatives asking you to submit your entry in the comments. These are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.

6. Commenting on own blogs
Comments from bloggers on their own blog will not be upvoted. It is only natural that you respond to comments on your own blog.

Support Topcomment with Delegations

The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.

https://thecrazygm.com/hivetools/account/delegate/topcomment/100

| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |

Follow the Curation Trail

If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.
https://hive.vote/dash.php?trail=topcomment&i=1

Upvote and Reblog

You could help the @topcomment project by upvoting and reblogging this post. The more people know about this initiative, the more it will stimulate engagement on Hive ❤️
The post rewards will be used to support the project!

I am grateful for the @topcomment mention because it is a recognition of our interaction with content that we like. Also, I consider that it is respecting the work of the content creators who dedicate time and effort to make their publications.
Happy weekend.
Cheers and best regards.

Greetings, I appreciate being included in the weekly report. I think feedback on each post is conveyed through comments; it demonstrates that each piece of content has been read and evaluated. This provides a reference point for measuring or assessing each user's work effort, as well as becoming the primary means of direct interaction among Hivers. Comments serve to establish relationships, launch projects and initiatives, and are also an authentic means of assessing loyalty to the platform and support for the growth of Hive Blockchain. @topcomment seems like an incredible initiative to support valuable user feedback and, through the weekly report, highlight their roles as active Hivers who want a better platform and believe in working together.

Saludos, agradezco haber sido incluída en el informe semanala. Pienso que a través del comentario se transmite el feedback de cada publicación, es una muestra de que ha sido leído y evaluado cada contenido. De esta manera se tiene un punto de referencia acerca de como medir o valorar el esfuerzo de trabajo de cada usuario adenas de convertirse en el principal medio de interacción directa entre Hivers. El comentario sirve para establecer relaciones, para lanzar proyectos e iniciativas, aparte de ser un medio autentico donde se evalua la lealtad hacia la plataforma y su apoyo al crecimiento de Hive blockchain. @topcomment me parece una iniciativa increíble apoyar los comentarios valiosos de los usuarios y destacar a través del informe semanal sus funciones como hivers activos que quieren una mejor plataforma y tienen fe en el trabajo mancomunado.

Hello, I am starting to work on some analytics to try and figure out commenting patterns on HIVE, and to get some objective measures of comments. I'd love to hear contributions from the curation team on what makes a great comment, and whether I can algorithmically "score" good comments.

I am also keen to see if there's a correlation between good content and good comments.

I have a rambling post published as a preliminary, experimental study, but my overall goal is try and drive better comment quality, not only in the use of good language (but also in terms of comment depth) - a comment is not very valuable if it doesn't generate discussion.

Anyway, if you could check out my rambling and contribute some ideas to help make my analytical developments better, it would be much appreciated!

I'm really interested in that! I'll read your posts later!

what makes a great comment, and whether I can algorithmically "score" good comments.

We use some rules to decide what we consider a good comment. For instance it must show that the commenter has read the blog itself. They must reply to that subject (not reply just to tell their story or point of view) and they should have put effort into the comment.

I think this will be difficult to score this algorithmically. I use a script that collects all comments of 'a certain length' and sends them to our curation channel in our Discord server. From there we do a manual check whether there is real engagement. AI comments are also a thing recently. We've been spotting quite some 'long' comments that do engage with the author of the blog, but are AI generated.
That is why manual curation is important for rewarding comments.

I am also keen to see if there's a correlation between good content and good comments.

Yes, I think there is. Although some subjects are more likely to get discussions in the comment than others.
We do see that larger stakeholders often get more comments. This could be either because they regularly upvote comments or that people want to be seen/followed by these stakeholders.

Also the interaction with the commenters by the author could be interesting to look at.

my overall goal is try and drive better comment quality, not only in the use of good language (but also in terms of comment depth) - a comment is not very valuable if it doesn't generate discussion.

I can only agree with this. As you have seen I started following you since I find this an interesting matter. Keep me (or us) in the loop!
