What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?
I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.
What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective
Nothing is entirely subjective. There are different degrees of shared opinion (“inter-subjectivity”) among people, depending on the group. One of the advantages of the “communities” (or “subreddit” / “magazines”) model is that you can find people with whom you share opinions, and if that community doesn’t already exist, you can create it. By joining a community that shares your interests, and customizing your feed to show those communities, content that gets upvoted will tend to reflect your interests, and upvotes will be a signal of quality.
