Don’t tell me what to do, I’ll downvote everything I dislike. I don’t care what you think is good, neutral or poor content. And that’s exactly the issue, I see the all feed and downvote most of the content and only upvote what I actually like, and many people do the same.
I agree with the decision but disagree with the reasons. And I believe a community poll should have been held before the change.
The actual reasons I think downvotes shouldn’t be used are those mentioned in Is it worth having downvotes?: because it discourages people from posting content, especially if they post their own nudes and receive downvotes, and it makes the content from this instance less visible in other instances. Those two result in less content overall.
Yeah, I totally agree. I like to see all new posts and downvote everything except the few posts that I like. If everybody did the same, and there were only a few posts that actually got upvotes after all the downvotes, then too bad for the posters. It’s not like I care about how they feel after getting downvoted to oblivion, if they feel bad they can get the fuck out of here for all I care. /s
