This is a good example for Paul Graham's "middlebrow dismissal" data set. Generic negative comment about the subject of the article that could be copy-pasted into any article matching a "Wikipedia" string search by a bot.

I see the brow a great deal lower than you see it. Middlebrow is unduly dignified.

Your comment is itself a negative, middlebrow dismissal. The OPs negativity is middlebrow precisely because it's accurate, but it's beating a dead horse. This means it gets up voted repeatedly, whereas a genuinely low brow comment like "FUK U GAY WIKIPEDIA" would be quickly down voted.

I think by this point you've robbed the word "middlebrow" of any meaning at all.
