People keep on describing this as manipulation. In what way is it manipulation? People upvote stories they think have interesting characteristics. If these stories are showing up on the front page, it's because people find them interesting. If people in the community are finding stories about young people creating things interesting, who are you to tell them this is invalid? Should we all use your standards when determining whether a story is interesting or not? Rather than complain about what others find interesting, why don't you just not upvote those stories and not click on them? I bypass stories I don't think I'll find interesting every day, and I don't enter the comments section and complain about them. "Valuable feedback, one of the main benefits of posting, will be buried under paragraphs vitriol. Why waste such a good opportunity?" The solution to this is easy -- keep your vitriol to yourself.
