I treat up/downvoting not as a carrot or a stick, but as a message. Accordingly, I either downvote or reply, not both (with rare exceptions).
Basically, if I bother to reply, there is no need for an up/downvote since I’ve sent a better message.
As an aside, I don’t think that tinkering with voting will solve any of LW’s problems.
Same, unfortunately, I consider this site to be a mostly sunk ship, as previously stated, I’ve been mostly inactive since 2011, and I never really posted here anyway.
