A harsh, anti-meme stance is the only sane one of any sizable community that wishes to maintain integrity. Otherwise it risks devolving into ever-increasing depths of groupthink (and thus, mediocrity). Discussion gets pushed to the margins, and then the site is left to die.
Devaluing any sort of metrics also seems vital. It's sad that people would rather increase scores than actually, you know, discuss things.
