Upvotes and downvotes are an important way of expressing our opinions on the internet.
It’s a way for users to quickly show agreement or disagreement with something
without having to write out a lengthy explanation as to why they feel that way.
If more people upvote something, it lets us know that what was posted is considered generally positive.
On the other hand, if more people are downvoting, then it is likely being perceived in a negative light.
Both upvotes and downvotes have the power to incentivize those who view them, either positively or negatively depending on which one has been used.
Good content is often rewarded with appreciation (upvotes)
while bad content typically falls victim to criticism (downvotes).
In the end, it all boils down to letting your vote do the talking.
