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.

    Yeah, there’s a sweet spot where it works, but once you get a large usercount, it becomes a bit snowbally. Get a few early upvotes, and you’re off! Don’t get those upvotes early? It’s gone, drowned away in the flood, even if the post was good. There’s an element of luck that I’m not sure can, or should be, elminated.

    What the modern big sites do with algo’s that read your interests, has a more cons, still. As far as a lesser of two evils, I like the vote system as a content curation system the best.
