    Upvotes can amplify popular views or feel like a popularity contest, but they’re just a tool. You can avoid the echo chamber by sorting comments by “new” or “old”. Upvotes don’t control the conversation, you can choose how you engage.

      Yeah but unless everyone does it it means there’s no discussion on downvoted opinions which is what creates the echo chamber effect.
