Steemers won't waste their votes on comments … voting power is money, voting on comments doesn’t make money.

This does seem like a part of the system that could be gamed. I'm sure with a little effort one could procure peak hours, types of posts during peak hours, even a vague demographic during different times. If you offer the right people the right content at the right time, you win. Though, unless there is some heavy conversation inside a post, I can't see how comments are rewarded enough to encourage good participation.

My solution is far from perfect but it would push people to comment and vote comments just like they write and vote content today.

My idea : Why we don’t have two separated voting power, a big one dedicated to vote on posts (let’s say 80% of the actual one) and a small one dedicated for comments (let’s say 20%) ? That would push users to use their voting power also to vote on comments because if not, this portion of their voting power won’t be used, it would be lost.
