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.

    Yeah, that’s the point!

    There is many reasons for downvoting an article. It could be a bad article or just a bad source in general. It could be irrelevant to the community, outdated or paywalled, just to name a few.
