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.

    Everyone has their own idea what they should be for. In general it’s for liking and disliking, or agreeing and disagreeing.

    I also didn’t use to up/downvote much at all on Reddit (never used other socials), but here I upvote especially when someone responds to me or post to my communities, and downvote if something annoys me.

    I’m not particularly bothered if I get downvoted, it can happen for a multitude of reasons both valid and insane, but I’m enough of a narcissist to enjoy when a lot of people like my stuff.
