I thought that's what the upvotes are for.
- jacquesm 3y agoUpvotes are for what you consider interesting or added value.
- fardo 3y agoThat seems to be their theoretical use, much like the downvote is theoretically supposed to be their inverse. In practice though, it seems that the users of most online communities seem to treat them as an "agree or disagree" button, with dissenting opinions typically being either forced out of a thread or languishing due to the upvote-downvote tug of war generally suppressing a comment's rankings.
