Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and “Disagree” buttons, whether or not it was the intent.
Interesting to read the comments, I was unaware anyone gave mich if a shit about posts, let alone how others might vote on them. I mean I don’t actually know anyone here.
I do hit the upvote occasioanly if a post was helpfu/usefull… to me. Conditioning is the only real explanation I have for that behaviour though.
Yes. That’s how people use it, so that’s what it is. The original intention doesn’t matter.
My upvotes are for posts I like, downvotes I don’t really use except when the content is factually wrong or misleading
It’s supposed to be about relevance and moderation of abusive content, not agreement, but that’s not usually the case.
Upvote: I agree at least for the most part.
Downvote: I have problems with the general content, or the source of the content.
No vote: I’m not going to downvote you, but I don’t have to upvote you either.
