It’s a minor annoyance, to try to upvote things and see nothing happen because you hit some arbitrary cap. But interacting with commenters was one of the joys of my time here, even just in small things like upvoting them, since giving inane comment replies like “Thank you!” or “I agree!” evokes anxiety from me rather than giving joy.

That I hit the cap before it was even announced made me suspect that it would be a frequent frustration going forward, and one I simply had no intention of dealing with.
