This is OT but the term upvote inlfation made me think of it. I don't see why any story gets more than, say, 300 votes. Honestly if a story gets more than a couple of hundred it's on the home page for at least a day - is that not enough? Why do people even bother continuing to upvote those stories? To me it just suggests that comparatively no-one reads the newest section or votes there. Basically the new pages is moving way too fast compared with the front page.
