It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin.

We need something like this:

My most depraved marketing brain thinks borrowing the visual language of Reddit gold would be a good idea. At least in comments.

Partly because it's familiar to most users, but it also draws your attention and highlights well liked posts.

And if someone is boosting a comment, I think that's much more significant than boosting the main post, which is already meant to be shared.
