Peer-reviewers also don't follow particular names around; they see the name above the submission and it influences them, as on H.N. no doubt.

But it's far worse, even without a recognized names, most votes are cast without proper reading, and I'm fairly certain also by the least intelligent subsection given how often submissions are upvoted on H.N. and Reddit that are pure clickbait and demolished in the comments by people that actually read it. People that vote by and large only read the title or the first sentence and make up their mind from there.

Agreed. I was referring to Quora.
