I've had this theory that today has been proven. To one extent or another more votes = more voting which = more votes. It's a cycle of voting.The people on muti are there. The voters and users exist but are apathetic. When something comes along, they will vote. Once they are on the site they will peruse other posts and vote more often.This is visible today:On an average day the top post on muti can receive up to a whopping 5 or 6 votes. Today the top 5 have a massive increase on that number!Simple theory, more votes = more voting. Done.
