Upvotes without reading do suck but comments without reading are worse. I’ve been considering adding a highlight/boost on comments where the author has clicked the link.

I know I’m talking to Rimu, I was just curious how Piefed would be able to track that

JavaScript. Attach a click handler event to the article link, save a cookie with the post id in it.

You can’t do that with different clients.
Simply put, you can’t force all the clients which currently support piefed to respect that.
You can control the server, you can’t control the clients.
