Perhaps some kind of incentive should be introduced?

One way could be to reward "early promoters", eg. give karma to the first users that up-vote a story, which later makes it to the front page or reaches a certain number of votes.

That would make karma even more of a "guess who the average person would think the average person would think would win a beauty contest" game.

That's a "Keynesian beauty contest" for anyone who's interested.

Yeah, but then there'd need to be a karma penalty for up-voting stories that don't (or you could karma pharm by up-voting everything).
