many who are creating great content aren't getting recognition while some less helpful posts are getting a lot of popularity and celebrity votes. That's life. Hopefully the community will mature beyond this

This is an exact mirror of society.
We've got people like Larken Rose publishing books that could free people from a slavery they don't even realize they're in, and hardly anyone (percentage of the population-wise) knows who he is.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian waggles her enormous baby-oiled ass in front of a camera, and the entire world stops to goggle and applaud. That woman contributes nothing--nothing--to society, and yet she's the celebrity pulling in all the money on her name alone, while Larken is setting up donation drives.

We won't mature past this. This is what we are, unfortunately.
This is society in a microcosm.
