Yes, but disinterest combined with scarcity (of front-page space) requires opposition. So I understand why people would thumb down those articles.

I agree that perhaps a more expressive system would work better.

/\ serious
\/ humor


We need a three-option system:
  • Favorite
    • Good, relevant stuff
  • Thumbs down
    • Junk
  • Get off my lawn!
    • Stuff I don't mind, but it doesn't belong here
