Alright, I've done some more thinking about this today.

How about something along the lines of: implementing a reputation/karma system (which, IMO, wouldn't need to be displayed publicly on profiles, but that's not too relevant.) The higher a user's reputation/karma, the more their upvotes count for in comments (and in posts? IDK).

I feel like this is a half-baked idea, but is a potential solution for combating the lowest-common-denominator content from rising. The 'Old Guard' so-to-speak would have more sway in their sharing/voting.
