or you can just read an actually interesting article

I did, but it's not going to get upvoted a lot without some more details. "Whale Fall" is not going to work out.

Sure but the title sounds interesting on it's own and prompted me to learn what it was. It's clickbait but there's no bait and switch when you visit the article.

And the description gives enough clue for me what the article is going to be about:

What happens when a large open source project dies.

Edit:

And I find that focusing too much about upvotes won't make for a good community experience. If the material is good the upvotes will eventually arrive.

Are you saying that never happens? I too have been around the internet for long. Votes come in waves. The first wave is usually full of trash, discarded water bottles and weird coconuts. The second wave on-wards is clean. It also depends on your timezone.

Well, is the material good according to your theory?
