Interesting cultural bias. Why are people not questioning unsubstantiated up-votes, but feel down-voters shouldn't be let of the hook without a full argumentation?
- esailija 11y agoUpvote is already backed by the arguments the upvoted post contains. Downvote is not backed by those arguments. They are not symmetrical at all and there is no bias.
