It's not an unnecessary upvote—I thought I made it clear that this behavior was part of the site's design. I rarely upvote stories at all, so stories which were compelling enough in the first couple of paragraphs to cause me to want to read them later are worthy of an upvote, in my eyes.

I think a much more disturbing trend is rush-upvoting everything that comes out of e.g. TechCrunch.
