That's exactly the kind of thing I feared upon hearing of Quora's focus on real names back when they launched. I expect the bubbling up of such things (stuff that is somehow "interesting", but not useful) is a problem for the majority of social sites. I tend to think the like button / upvote concept is just busted and largely to blame, but I certainly don't know how to solve or supplant it.
