FWIW the Wytham Abbey post also received ~240 votes, and I doubt that a majority of downvotes were given for the reason that people found the general topic unimportant. Instead I think it’s because the post seemed written fairly quickly and in a prematurely judgemental way. So it doesn’t seem right to take the karma level as evidence that this topic actually didn’t get a ton of attention.

How do you see it got 240 votes?
Anyway I agree that I wrote it quickly and prematurely. I edited it to add my current thoughts.
