To actually argue about the proposal at hand: - It amplifies the echo chamber. Only if people like and agree with me, I'll get points. Only with points I will be able to post. Loop here. - It punishes lurkers who only once in a while see the 'need' to comment. Not every comment gets up- or downvotes. Want to 'improve' HN? Instead of this navel gazing post, why not post something worthwhile?
