This is an example of a post for which I wish I could “disagree” without “downvote”ing!
I think I want only one set of buttons and I want them to be next to the current tallies and I want those to be at the top so I can use them to decide what to read. But I of course wouldn’t mind if you were able to opt in to a different system.
EDIT: this response is to the second bit about the object level of this OP, not the first bit regarding agree/reinforce buttons on top level posts, with which I straightforwardly agree.
You only want one set of buttons (sounds reasonable to me). And you want the voting buttons to have a tally next to them (I get it, but I’m not sure it’s needed). You re-emphasise the importance of tallies for guiding what to invest reading time into, which means a tally needs to be at the top (I heavily agree in absence of some other guide, perhaps a great recommendation system).
Is it important to render only one tally? Or could a tally appear without buttons at the top/homepage/sequence-page and a duplicate tally appear at the bottom alongside buttons?

Interesting. I would be open to trying this.
