    Get off your high fucking horse. Upvotes are for content you want to see, downvotes are for content you don’t. Can we stop pretending there’s some bullshit morality attached or that they’re for anything other than base popularity?

    I’m pretty sure the intent when upvotes and downvotes were created was to use them in regards to relevance. Is the topic about ducks and someone is going off about jeeps? Downvote. Is the community about posting DIY peanut butter but someone keeps posting Skippy™? Downvote.

    It shouldn’t have anything to do with agreeing, effort, or anything like that. Just a way to keep the topic/community on track.
