Suggestion: Make it rain with the votes
There are anywhere between 10-50 regular users on the site. I think it is safe to say that 100% of every thread / question / answer has been read by at least five people in the top 10-50 regular users on this site.
If we can convince these users to be incredibly generous with their voting, that would mean every question would have at least five votes (which would be a huge improvement from where we are now).
- If a question is something you never thought of, up vote it
- If a question is something you at one point in your career were curious about, up vote it
- If a question is something you think would help others in their career/journey, up vote it
- If a question shows effort and attention to formatting, up vote it
But it should also apply to answers to...
- If an answer adequately answers the original question(s), up vote it
- If an answer is well articulated and formatted and relavent, up vote it
- If an answer creatively answers the question from an angle you hadn't though of, up vote it
- If an answer adds anything positive to the discussion, up vote it

Remember, votes are like money you can give to other users. But this 'money' has no value if kept to yourself. It adds nothing to hold back your votes, and creates value when you do vote.
