And you can maybe try to fix this by making that sort of research high status – putting it in the curated section, giving out bonus karma, maybe even cash prizes. But I think it’ll continue to feel less rewarding than something that results in actual comments.
Figure out what sorts of user behavior you wish to incentivize (reading posts people wouldn’t otherwise read? commenting usefully on those posts? making useful posts?), what sorts you wish to limit (posting, in general? snarky comments?), and apply EP/GP.
