It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell.
But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.
Use those buttons wisely. I don’t like it any more than many others, but I’m gonna tap that upvote in hopes it might help more people see the news!
Downvote me if you want, IDGAF.
What would be a better way to use those buttons?
This is a wonderful question!
The more I think about it, I believe the best idea just might be to not tap either upvote nor downvote when uncertain.
But when it’s important, share the link with friends and others that should understand.
