Mate each and everything was mentioned in one of the post of [@DrEllisJaruzel](/user/profile/DrEllisJaruzel) from few days back, about how everything works in Relevant, those post with high upvote doesn't matter, things what matter the most is that community member with high relevant reputation rating upvotes the post.
Mate i will explain it with your example,
If you're reading a post for 20-30mins and by that time even if post gets 100 upvote it will not matter unless someone with high relevant rating gives a upvote and show it some glimpses on path of relevance. Then comes other question, if high relevant rated have already voted by then what?
The answer is simple improve your knowledge & reading skill mate and this is why this community have been made in first place
( I don't want to hurt you in anyway, but Relevant have improved my economics knowledge and my reading skills as well.)
So don't worry and read, and let people gamble to become first to upvote, because in share market their are lot of gamblers but only one Warren Buffett.
Hope you understand.
