That is not entirely true. Personally, I think it is a fine article, but I didn’t upvote it because I felt that 60 upvotes should be enough for it. Is there a site-wide consensus about the interpretation of karma scores? If not, is there even a thread where LWers debate about the best semantics?
47 votes doesn’t mean “This is a great article”. It means 47 more people liked it than disliked it. Peanut butter gets more karma than caviar.

If you like something you read and would like to see more of it, vote it up.
And vice versa.
