My learning from Reddit:

* Any comment at all is probably far too much effort, as confirmed by comments when behavior was criticized, especially if the substance of that comment isn’t already stated.

* Down vote is just the right amount of effort, like Goldilocks.

* Up votes are also a tremendous effort like fighting a crushing gravity.

* Up votes suddenly become easier with social validation. The more popular an idea appears, up votes per minute, the more irresistible the up vote button becomes like a black hole gravity well.
