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.

    Of course, if supposed information turns out to be bullshit, yes indeed downvote into oblivion.

    My whole point though is that if the information actually checks out, don’t downvote it just because you don’t like the information. That only serves to help bury the information and make it less likely to be seen by others.
