To play Devil's Advocate, there is no downvote option so it's hard to gauge just how much folks care about a given article.

If it isn't getting upvotes it will quickly fall off the front page. This whole thread is a bit silly.

Once your karma goes over about 1000 you get a downvote on articles (not certain about the threshold).

No, you don't. Articles can't be downvoted, only comments.

Weird I'm sure I've been able to downvote articles on an old profile.
