Ask HN: What do you upvote and why?
- doganengin 6y agoAnything interesting that I do not come across in the mainstream media
- mindcrime 6y agoHonestly, I upvote pretty much anything that meets the bar of "this looks vaguely interesting and might be something I'll want to read one day." That is, I use upvote more as a way of bookmarking things, than as any kind of endorsement or sign that I think anybody else should be interested in the content. Yes, I know there is a "favorite" feature, but using that requires one extra click, so...
- artembugara 6y agoI use "favorite" as a bookmark. Just recently I discovered how to do so.
