Do you consider it more than negligibly likely that the benefit-receiving subset will read a comment voted down to -10 or so?
I am more likley to read heavily downovted quotes, simply for the sake of novelty, than quotes voted at -2 to 4 karma. I don't think I'm in the benefit-receiving subset though.
I read strongly downvoted posts as well, but perhaps they have more than just novelty value. For a post that is merely bad, people usually stop downvoting it once it's negative. But something voted to -10 or below is often bad in a way that serves as an example of what not to do. Heavily downvoted comments can be educational.
Yes, especially if I point them to it. Having it already sitting there with links is useful. There's also a non-negligible subset of people that read my comments from my user page.
