There's no reward for up-voting a post that goes on to receive a lot more up-votes, and there's no penalty for up-voting a post that goes on to receive a lot of down-votes. Therefore the judging mechanism itself (the votes) is not subject to the Keynesian beauty contest problem.

That‘s true, it‘s not present at the voting level. But I believe it’s present at the level of submitting and feed selection.
