On the plus side, comments get a lot of votes - total since last year is 20,000+ and we have paid out nearly $10,000 so far.
But, compared to the number of comments made and the number of people reading them, voting could be much higher. Looking at specifically who votes, it seems to a relatively small group of people (easily thousands read posts weekly but maybe 100 account for the clear majority of voting).
I am hoping this discussion makes people remember / get into the habit of voting.
Every time you vote, IPVM pays your fellow members. And we want to do this. We want to recognize the people who contribute. If you agree, disagree, find something informative or funny, just vote below any comment.
