Posts are strong-upvoted by default and comments are not. I usually stick with the defaults. I have strong-upvoted my own comments, because this is allowed, but I do so pretty rarely, much less often than I strong-upvote comments from others. You don’t get any extra Karma for it, and may get downvoted even more if people think the score is too high. I feel like I need a higher threshold for mine. Strong upvotes as a feature are valuable (in part) because they are optional and rare. I don’t strong upvote because a comment was time consuming, for myself or others. I might if I think the comment is particularly valuable and wouldn’t be noticed otherwise, or if I feel it was downvoted unfairly, to give others a chance to notice it and vote.
