But it also incentivices users to abuse their strong votes.
For what it’s worth, I have 10 strong upvote strength and at least when talking about comments, for me the effect is the opposite. With the karma of most comments being in the 0-10 range, an upvote of 10 feels so huge that I use it much more rarely than if it was something smaller like 4. (For posts, 10 points isn’t necessarily that much so there I’m more inclined to use it.)
I considered for a while to add a medium-like voting-system where you can just click n-times to give n votes until your maximum vote strength, but the UI ended up too complicated. Might be worth revisiting sometime again though.

Yeah, if I could medium-vote I’d give out a lot of those.
