This really messes with how I, as an author, rely on karma as feedback for how well my post was received.

I hate all karma games more complicated than, "I liked/disliked/didn't-care-about this post."

Sympathy upvotes are already games more complicated than "liked/disliked".

It's not a desirable solution. It's just the best literal answer an individual can have to the "what can we do about it?" question that does not rely on political advocacy. It's true whether or not people hate it.
