Maybe folk didn't bother to actually click through? Idk.

Much like on Reddit, standard practice is skimming the headline, looking at the thumbnail and then voting and occasionally commenting. A rare percentage of the time something looks interesting enough to earn a click through.

I wish I could say I was above such behaviour but I have certainly been guilty of it myself.
