First I'd like to say awesome project!
Secondly, thank you so much for working on translating some of the Korean steem.it posts. I'm trying to learn the Korean language, and it helps to have a bridge between the gap, otherwise it's hard for me to understand the context of what is being posted.
I would like to piggyback on this post in a way to ask a question though, I have been trying to skim through kr-tagged posts on Steem.it and I notice a trend: Korean users seem to never upvote other users' comments. Most english posts have fair amounts of comment upvotes on the popular comments, but the Korean posts that I see have nearly none. Many of them are all 0.00 even though a post might have fifteen to twenty lengthy comments. Is it some sort of matter of politeness or faux pas to upvote comments in the Korean steem.it community? Maybe I'm imagining things, but it'd be nice to know. Thanks!
Thank you @ashley-ghastley! If others can enjoy these translations/contextualizations, I'm proud to be doing them. It's also great that you're using your Steemit account to log your journey learning Korean.
I'm not 100% sure on what specific posts you're referring to, as I've seen many instances where people do upvote comments. Still overall, most KR members try to be more precise with their votes/downvotes. Because the community more tight-knit with more regular interactions with their audiences, upvoting comments can also be seen as giving too much preference and usually reserved for supporting substantial whole posts.
Hope that answers your question a bit.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
