I think the easiest way to fix this problem is to increase the amount of upvoats you can give in a day. There are just TOO many comments and not enough votes to go around. I'll often see great comments that are still at 0 points or at 1 point. There is just currently no incentive to stand out with a quality comment, when you have the one-liners and low-quality comments nearly reaching the same amount of upvoats as the thought-out responses.

This also fixes the issue of people trying to RUSH to 20 CCP or 100 CCP. With more voats going out, you only need a few great comments to reach these marks. Compared to still having to write out 20 or 100 shitty comments to reach the same goal.

Exactly! Voat incentivizes commenting and discourages (albeit, only slightly) upvoting.

If someone has already said what I wanted to say, I think my upvote adds a lot more than a separate comment. More people see what I agree with, and the people looking through all of it don't have to read the same thing twice.

What if votes instead diminished in value with how many you used that day? So you have 10 or 20 "votes" per day, but you can vote on as many things as you want, your votes just don't have as much weight. If you vote on everything, your votes end up being like 0.01 of a vote or whatever
