I'm just a casual HN reader, but my understand is that the up vote button is not to be used as an "I agree" button but rather as a "This is relevant to the conversation" button. That being said, as the comment is by a cofounder of PIA, it is extremely relevant regardless of opinion about this situation.
- Krasnol 7y agoI'm a regular reader of HN and Reddit and this is not working on Reddit and this would be the first time I see it working anywhere with such a voting system. You see it often enough here on topics where the overall "circlejerk" is strong and see relevant comments disappear at the bottom. If you consider how posts are being kept up on the frontpage here, I rather go for the sticky/mod action theory.
