sure. some people will. and some people will re-think their choices and write with more effort. and some people will accept -1 karma. I don't see these 3 choices as a problem, if we can marginally increase the quality of interactions...
I don't expect that an incentive to add some unnecessary volume will improve the quality of comments.
Recall Blaise Pascal's "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time" :-)
a lovely quote, I would not say that volume is correlated with quality, but I would say the potential benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Obviously enough people disagree with me.
I don't think this would be helpful, basically for the reason Lumifer said. In terms of how I vote personally, if I consider a comment unproductive, being longer increases the probability that I will downvote, since it wastes more of my time.
