I don't work at Google, but when people say something like "cue the downvotes" or "I know I'm going to get downvoted," I proceed to downvote them because that's an incredibly stupid and meaningless thing to say. In fact, it reeks of arrogant stubbornness ("I don't care about the community, I know I'm right, etc." Knowing you're right is not bad in of itself, it's being arrogant about it that is).

So I downvoted you.

Thanks, but I was specifically referring to the same voting ring that appeared to have put the article on the front page in the first place. I would hope the rest of the community would recognise a blogspam repost of a marketing puf-piece puff piece when they see one.
I found it interesting and I upvoted the article. So just because you don't like the company that the article is published by does not mean the article is a marketing puff piece.
