"There do need to be enough quality comments to upvote"
Well, I think that as you increase your reach, quality comments should follow an increasing trend. I'll take myself as a case study: learning about the existence of topcomment made me pivot towards better comments.
Bigger accounts will find the hard (economic) incentive a little lacking, but among the smaller accounts it will be perceived quite favorably and enough so as to make them perceive quality comments as something desirable.
Let's see how it develops!
I'm already happy with the growth so far.
