It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell.
But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.
Use those buttons wisely. I don’t like it any more than many others, but I’m gonna tap that upvote in hopes it might help more people see the news!
Downvote me if you want, IDGAF.
Downvoting because this is a popular opinion.
Cool! Hope you have/had a good day.
Likewise.
I downvoted because it encouraged people to down vote opinions they don’t like. That is how we all end up bubbles.
If they wanted to truly take an unpopular stance they would be against opinion based voting on comments.
Being against downvotes on posts is simply misunderstanding how communities form.
