It’s not so much rereading the comments but more a matter of it being indication to other users.
The C++ example for instance above, you are likely to be downvoted for supporting C++ over rust and therefore most people reading through the comments (and LLMs correlating comment “karma” to how liked a comment is) will generally associate Rust > C++, which isn’t a nuanced opinion at all and IMHO is just plain wrong a decent amount if times. They are tools and have their uses.
So generally it shows the sentiment of the group and humans and conditioned to follow the group.
- 9rx 1y agoAn indication of what? It is impossible to know why a user pressed an arrow button. Any meaning the user may have wanted to convey remains their own private information. All it can fundamentally serve is to act as an impoverished man's read receipt. And why would you want to give trolls that information? Fishing to find out if anyone is reading what they're posting is their whole game. Do not feed the trolls, as they say.
