I rarely comment just to receive a vote on it ;) I can't speak for the smaller fishes.
I think maybe I will do what other people are saying save upvotes for exceptional comments (raise the bar) or maybe consider their SP and engagement.
The bigger sp holders who vote on my posts are already getting a double curation boost.
Another idea is to go and vote their active post instead of their comment.
Actually that gets me thinking, for people who don't really post often, maybe they can designate a comment to reward upvote instead.

Starting out, a decent comment can earn more than a post - that was true when I arrived anyway.
Agreed on raising the comment quality bar being a possibility as folks 'fight' over what comments are getting that vote.
I notice SBI voting for folks comments when they haven't chucked out a post in a couple of days, and I may go do the same at times if i see votes on my posts without a comment or a fresh post on their part.
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. Oh look, here is a comment I want to upvote... nah, that's a waste. :)
My days of focusing on growing the community so they can break it might be over.
