>If someone wants to leave positive feedback, or criticism, they can write a simple post in the thread.

They can do that, but they have good reason to want to avoid doing it. People go to the /g/ board mostly looking for /g/, and usually not looking to find some /g/ buried under a ton of comments about how great /g/ is. By posting feedback in a thread, we dilute the very content we're trying to give feedback on. When something is really amazing and no one seems to notice, then perhaps it might be worth posting a comment in the thread, but it feels bad to do so. It is bringing the thread back to the top without having contributed anything new to it, and the next person who finds that thread will be forced to scroll past all the comments to get to the good stuff.
