I've noticed that for many LW posts - and EA posts to a lesser extent - it's very common for a comment on them to get more upvotes than the post itself. Since it's usually a lot harder to write a post than to comment on it, it seems like this isn't incentivising people to post strongly enough.
This also seems to apply to facebook posts and likes in the LW and EA groups.
Don't posts get ten times the karma as comments?
Only in Main. In Discussion, votes are only 1 karma, and I have noticed something similar to what the GP is describing in Discussion.
