I'll admit it. On any thread I read I scroll down to the bottom and generally upvote the lowest top-level comment. Often if very snarky, there is good truth to what's being expressed. I rarely upvote the most upvoted top-level comment as I find them often to be puppeting along some type of information in a grade-grubbing type of way. I went to med school I know that type.
I think voting is hugely important to HN's fate yet its basically forbidden to mention it. Yet, there are all these rules on what constitutes a good HN comment. Weird if you ask me.

What's your approach to HN voting?
