I'd guess people would eventually find the button anyway, even if it's grayed out? I mean, they know where it's located, and notice that they can click on various shades of gray... I'd guess they'd feel somewhat upset about the odd UI, with clickable "disabled" buttons :-)
- hayksaakian 14y agograying would serve to make it slightly more annoying to see/click -- to dissuade casual upvotes. You could also make the hitbox of the button increasingly smaller - to where the no.2 comment has a 1x1 px box. tl:dr make it frustrating to upvote top comments -- if they really 'deserve it' people will go out of their way to do it
