I like the general idea here, but personally I dislike comments that don’t tell the the reader new information, so just saying the equivalent of “yay” without adding something is likely to get a downvote from me if the comment is upvoted, especially if it gets upvoted above more substantial comments.
I think one or two positive posts are fine. I’d agree if every post were like that. But that’s true of all post types.
I guess I think there is new information to the author which is, “someone like my post enough to specifically say so”. You could argue that’s included in the post karma, but emotionally, I don’t think they are the same.
