What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

    I upvote posts that are interesting usually. A higher score means more people may see it.

    I usually upvote most people that reply to my comments even if I don’t agree with them. It’s my way of showing appreciation for the time they took to engage with me.

    I don’t like to down vote. In my opinion it shouldn’t be used as a disagreement button. More for people who are needlessly rude.

      I generally reserve downvotes for problematic things, including but not limited to someone really pissing me off. >.>
