My gift offering to you today: The 10 comments that earned you the most SBD - Luck? Judgement? Who cares it's paid out!?
Hello all!
This data-pull was inspired by @helenoftroy who left a reply on one of the recent 'information finding' posts which are linked at the end of this blog.
Why this data could be useful
It is often said that a new recruit should spend the majority of their early time in the comments of other blogs. The idea is to find content that you enjoy and strike a connection with, which should then hopefully provide you with the inspiration to leave an awesome reply.
The potential positive outcomes of this are a new follower, and upvotes. It's tough to gauge which will be more valuable to you in the long run, and much easier to list the direct monetary value associated with your comment.
The list will look something like this:

A closer look
Now before you perhaps get slightly angry at the values at the top of the list, I'd like to point out that most of these comments were made after HardFork 17 which made everyone's vote size skyrocket for a week or two.
The second thing I noticed is that these comments were made on posts whose owners have a lot of Steem Power. It seems logical to state that this is the place to be for the larger upvotes on comments/replies.
So what did I say?
Lets have a look what some of my 'top 10 most valuable (in monetary terms!) comments' look like. Before we do though, I'd like to state that I think the reward attached is as much 'luck and timing', as it is 'quality' of comment!
Number 1
And now you are thinking, is that it!?... I'm a little embarrassed to say yes. Luck/timing there I guess!
Number 2
This is a bit better. A whale asked for a summary of the vlog as he was mobile - I guess the summary was satisfactory to him.
Number 4
Maybe this should be 'number 2' :D
Check the post for the full lowdown there! - Firmly in the Luck/Timing category I think!
Number 9
Hopefully saved the day a bit here with a helpful comment upped by @fulltimegeek :)
Overall though, I think my top 10 were a bit lucky, and more about being in the right place at the right time.
So who wants to see their list?!
