It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell.

But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.

Use those buttons wisely. I don’t like it any more than many others, but I’m gonna tap that upvote in hopes it might help more people see the news!

Downvote me if you want, IDGAF.

    Of course people can vote however they want. But in some cases, many people will have a knee jerk reaction to downvote actual facts that most everyone should know and should be shared, which just makes it less likely to be seen by others.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with how anyone has voted on any of my comments or silly posts, I’m referring to actual factual news posts.
