i think it would incentivize engagement and reduce misjudgments and it could go something like this

if you open a post then your upvote or downvote counts as 2 votes
if you check ops profile as well then your vote counts as 3
maybe also something about following links too idk

obviously this would be problematic to implement on the dev side and it would certainly be abused but thats why im posting it in this community i just had an idea and thought id share

But votes don't mean anything, so more votes still don't mean anything.

lots of folks sort by hot or top and wont see posts that get significantly downvoted and sometimes people put substantial effort into a shitpost that only a handful of people see because it gets downvoted by people who didnt even read it
