So basically: click-bait / vote-bait works, even with audiences that I expect to have a larger degree of technical literacy overall than the general populace.

Sometimes I worry about humanity!

Upvote is commonly used to mean "read it later" by this audience. It is by no means a vote on quality.

I sometimes upvote even when I disagree, if I think it will lead to quality discussion.

I'm not sure this is one of those times, though.

I can't say as I would think to use an upvote that way. I'd leave the article open in a tab, add it to browser bookmarks, or add it to a list in my preferred notes/reminders app (currently Google's Keep).

This is an incorrect use of absolutes.

Is it? How do you see your upvoted content to read later?

In your profile there's a link to upvoted submissions.
