Well, not more. Sending a comment takes you down to zero, you're done. Unless that person likes your comment. Popular posts or number of likes per comment would be irrelevant. The idea I guess is to allow and even encourage a friendly back and forth without burning all your credits.
Example.
A -I released this tool!
B - Wow nice how long did that take
A - Thanks, 6 months.
At this point, the conversation is done unless both like each other's comment, which in such an exchange would be encouraged.
If C comes along and says 'this tool sucks', even if 50 people like it, if A doesn't, C is done commenting for the day.
In fairness, I haven't really thought the whole thing out in detail, just some rough ideas. I appreciate pointing out challenges and dislikes with it though.
Very interesting idea. C can still come back and comment the next day/after a fixed time frame. I think it provides a much needed balance between lack of interaction and over interaction. I guess it can prevent bickering and unnecessary arguments.
Though if anyone wanted to set up an information farm, by creating a bunch of accounts, where they post and like each other, acting like different individuals, it could still create engagement with other innocent people who could eventually become biased, hateful and misinformed.
Unfortunately this doesn’t help with flame wars where people can go over to a sub thread they get agreement on to harvest credits to then brigade the ones they disagree with.
I think this is still bad, because it heavily encourages people to post stuff that others will respond to, which isn't necessarily what's honest, authentic, valuable, etc.

B might have just logged off, or maybe their question was bait to intentionally silence A. Either way, A is probably annoyed with B.

So if you want to write mean things, do so in your own posts without bothering others' discussions.
