If you think that "you wouldn't even see them" and "they wouldn't affect you" are the same thing, you've never read Slashdot. I think you'd immediately see some people starting to pander to the crowd, and the pandering wouldn't even be to the *entire* crowd, it would be that subset who are dim enough to spend a lot of their time voting; not the most interesting people on the planet. One of those "amongst those expressing a preference" deals that Pepsi made so famous. I just don't think "it might be interesting" is a good enough reason.
