Possibly a consequence of there being more people. I don't generally think to myself "this needs exactly 5 karma points", I think "I'm going to upvote this."

A more accurate comparison would be the percentage of people that read the article that upvoted it, and even that wouldn't be a perfect comparison.

I'm sure it's a consequence of having more people. That's what's interesting: it's a visible indicator of the increased population around here.
