Voting & Commenting
Posting is only half the work — visibility comes from interaction.
Creating posts is important, but it’s only half the job. On Blurt, you become visible through curation (voting) and conversation (commenting). If you only publish and disappear, you will feel invisible — even with good content.
This page is frontend-neutral. Buttons and labels may differ, but the interaction principles are the same.
Why voting matters
Voting is how you support content and signal quality. It also builds your network: people notice who consistently curates their work and leaves thoughtful feedback.
- You help others grow (rewards + motivation).
- You build recognition (your name appears on votes).
- You earn curation rewards over time (depending on BP and your voting habits).
Why comments matter even more
A good comment is worth more than a quick vote. Comments create relationships, start conversations, and turn one-time readers into people who remember you.
- People reply and your profile gets visited.
- Communities notice you because you contribute, not just publish.
- Feedback improves your posts and your future content gets better.
Vote Power in % (what the number really means)
Most frontends show your Vote Power as a percentage (for example: 100%, 78%, 42%). Think of it as your voting “fuel tank”. Every vote consumes some of it. The lower your percentage, the weaker your votes become.
- Vote more → Vote Power decreases.
- Lower Vote Power → smaller impact (less reward influence).
- Regeneration: roughly 20% of your Vote Power returns every 24 hours, so steady daily curation works better than extreme voting bursts.
How to write comments people respect
The easiest way to stand out on Blurt is not a perfect post — it’s useful comments. Avoid empty lines like “Great post!” and aim for something that adds value.
Good comment patterns
- Reference something specific from the post.
- Ask one real question (shows interest).
- Add a small insight or your experience.
- Be human: friendly, respectful, not robotic.
What to avoid
- Copy/paste comments across many posts.
- Vote begging or “follow me back” spam.
- Link drops unrelated to the post.
- Harassment or aggressive tone.
A simple comment formula
1) Mention one specific detail you liked → 2) add one thought/experience → 3) ask one question. This takes 30 seconds and makes you instantly more visible than 90% of “nice post” comments.
Where to vote and comment (so it actually helps)
- Communities: pick 2–4 communities that match your topics and be active there.
- New posts: commenting early increases the chance of real conversation.
- People you follow: build a circle of creators you genuinely enjoy.
- Beginners: a kind comment can keep a new user on the platform.
A simple daily routine (10 minutes)
- Read 2–3 posts in your communities.
- Leave 1 meaningful comment (remember: comments can cost small fees).
- Vote on 3–5 posts you genuinely support (use reasonable vote weight).
- Reply to comments on your own posts.
