Firstly, they de-valued upvotes and the equality that every user's opinion had before they were introduced.
And secondly, they were so abundant that they didn't mean anything anyway.

Hmm, maybe instead of pay to play awards, we could give each user X number of "boosts" per day to vote on content to be featured? Perhaps with older / more active accounts getting a few more over time?

    Yeah I've thought about this before too. If you had a limited amount of upvotes per day, or per amount of posts viewed, it would make them actually meaningful as there would be scarcity that you'd have to use sparingly.
