You could consider buying a subscription? I often see links on HN from places I subscribe to, so maybe the people who are voting are actually reading these articles and want to share and discuss them with the rest of the community?

I just wish I didn’t need to buy separate subscriptions for each publication. If I’m only reading one off articles from each based on others’ recommendations the individual publication subscription doesn’t really express what I’m trying to achieve.

Just how many $5/mo subscriptions do you expect people buy, and how much does that all add up to per year?

The privilege here is real.

I don’t expect people to do anything, I’m just trying to give perspective as to why someone might upvote an article they enjoyed.
