    It’s times like this I wonder about the like/dislike paradigm I.E. “I like/dislike knowing this and/or appreciate the perceived reputability of the source” vs. “This is good news/I fucking hate this.”

    This one just got a “I fucking hate this” from me.

      More of the first, but not exactly. It’s “Other people should see and know about this too” and “This isn’t worth anybody’s time/is factually wrong and shouldn’t have been posted.”

      Because that’s what upvoting does, makes it higher in the page so more people are able to see it.
