With Reddit Gold, you at least had to decide if you really wanted to spend your real money on it.

Not entirely true, as Reddit used to have a daily free award, which was actually quite fun to grant to a helpful or funny comment.

Also these awards shouldn't affect the comment's order in sorting in any way, just like (I think) it didn't do that on Reddit either. Sure you could make your comment look like it was liked a lot by someone by using an alt, but in the end it's still only upvotes that really matter.
