You're assuming that the QOTW picked has anything to do with the number of votes for it
...which I doubt.

Let's hope the next one actually has some scope for funny / interesting / startling stories. We haven't had much of that lately.

I've only read one of his books - A Song Of Stone, as my (sirrius) writing was compared with it. I quite enjoyed it.

I hate to agree
But I also found song of stone to be a pretty low point in his writing.
As ever it's nicely structured and to some extent it tells a story. Unfortunately the story it tells is unremittingly grim, and really just doesn't go anywhere.
In precis.

The cunts who reproduce this filth for cheap laughs?
The filth who have those cheap laughs, thereby warming their wintry hearts and making them better people?

or
