To add to that: not all up/downvotes are equal. Sometimes I upvote something that I find very informative and interesting and sometimes because I mildly like it. I personally only downvote stuff I find very hostile and/or low effort “noise”. It seems that most people do it this way. Except in cultural discussions (includes tech culture).
