I disagree. The upvote system is prone to creating echochambers. You post bad news and people will downvote it. You post something controversial. People will downvote it. I mean I don't think it's a bad system. I just believe that ranking content visibility based on it has some downsides.
Then you search controversial topics and find interesting stuff
The irony of people downvoting this because they disagree with you 😅 Does Reddiquette still apply here?
I think the upvote/downvote system just allows for a larger community before it becomes too big to be a good community
