Imagine if there was no voting at all and we went back to regular forums. Voting just creates echo chambers for any side to be complete fucks and not hear any other opinions besides the one side that's mostly dominant on the site.
I tend to disagree. Yes, it can cause echo chambers but most of the time if you respectfully discuss things and cite your sources you can disagree and still get upvotes.
Moreover, voting is an extremely effective deterrent against spam, trolling, and advertising.
That is very much not the experience I've had here. People rarely cite sources on the internet anymore, and definitely not here.
Says you. Source?
Voting used to be an extremely effective deterrent against spam, trolling, and advertising. It may now need some revamping to return efficacy.
I wanted to upvote you, but for the sake of your argument I won't. But yeah I'm not sure up and downvotes are necessary at all
