> One interesting enhancement that would help with that and that also addresses the problem of duplicates is to simply count duplicate link submissions as an upvote on the original.

But when you repost a link two hours later on a submission that didn't get any traction, that upvote is meaningless and a new submission with a new chance of traction might have been better.
