    I think the userbase of a community being clueless enough to tend to upvote anything vaguely good-sounding is a big factor in me eventually deciding to unsubscribe from that community. It doesn’t seem like it is a fixable problem once it develops.

      It’s a big problem with reddit like forums where the comments are highlighted and much more densely presented than the article itself.

      Older forums avoided this (unintentionally) by not having any sorting on replies and keeping the density of replies, low.
