In the end, voting isn’t about the work you put into it, just what seems to be tickling the Farker’s fancy in that particular thread. There is a lesson in this somewhere, but I am basically to lazy to suss it out.
Random reward patterns (since the voting baffles us all) are the most addictive. Add to that the high need for achievement and love of ambiguity in the cultural creative subculture (this forum, since we create disproportionately more per capita than fark.com itself), and of course it’s rejected.
We want more confirmation of the value of our achievements, and but will bristle at many attempts to classify it.
