giving a shit about "upvotes" seems like such a reddit thing to do.
I'm here for replies and conversation and yes...sometimes getting into arguments with dickheads (and...I'll be honest...sometimes being said dickhead when I'm having a bad day)
I don't actually care how many internet strangers are giving me made up internet points or not. It's always just seemed to me to be vacuous and silly as something to "chase"
Upvotes are a means to an end for site visibility though, which is required to attain conversation in most cases.
I get that. I just mean that I don't spend time trying to tailor an answer to try to get the most number of upvotes. I'll say what i want to say, and if people want to upvote me for it or downvote me for it makes no difference whatsoever.
its how you know if ppl understood your point
Not always!
reddit now will monitor upvotes in thier filters, too much too fast would result in a probably shadowban/permaban, because it assumes you are botting.
Best thing about this place is you can remove karma entirely from your user experience. I don't see any count at all
