To downvote on this is shortsighted. Some sort of karma rot (or whatever you want to call it) it will be necessary if SO wants to stay relevant. GP's comment implies that almost. I understand that this might come across as envious, but it isn't on my part, and I don't see how else to deal with the problem.
