The highest-ranked Erlang articles have only about 100 votes. It's just so easy for one group of people to vote 20 or 30 articles onto the front page. There may be more users who'd rather see something else, but (a) there are no downvotes on posts; (b) highly-scored articles can no longer be flagged down by the community; and (c) it's a lot more work to find and upvote "signal" than it is to increase the flood of noise. So I choose to see this as an overly-successful protest by (I hope) a minority of the community. After all, the typical "best" articles have over 200 points, and the original _why thread had almost 500.
