> To be honest I don't understand why this is on HN. Since when did these simple, short, and obvious posts become amazing and worth reading?

I think some people just read the title think "yes, this looks like something I want to read on hn" and upvote.

It's the lazy thing to do, I know I have done it sometimes and sometimes I have regretted doing it. The problem is that there is no way to withdraw an upvote and the upvote arrow is right there beside the title beckoning you to click it now, not to wait after you read the article and then come back.

Possible solutions: run a content extractors on links weight votes with length, open links in a frame, put up upvote arrow with the content, add de-upvote arrow.
