    I think there’s a shorter way to say this.

    Upvote means promote. I think this should be seen.

    Downvote means demote. I don’t think this should be seen.

      Yes, but a lot of people “don’t think this should be seen” simply because they disagree with it, no matter how much of a good-faith on-topic post it is. That was a main point.
