You could limit to comments on the winning posts? That would incentivize more comments on the high quality posts. Or just let Aaron do an initial screening / pick himself. I think he reads them all.
Reading to read and reading to choose a winner are different tasks, so even if Aaron chose a winner, I would be surprised if it didn’t create a significant amount of extra work.
That sounds like a ton of work. There are a LOT of comments.
