    Get off your high fucking horse. Upvotes are for content you want to see, downvotes are for content you don’t. Can we stop pretending there’s some bullshit morality attached or that they’re for anything other than base popularity?

      This isn’t right either, upvotes are for whatever I want and downvotes are for whatever I want. Ima fucking downvoted myself now after I post this comment

          And I’m upvoting you because while I completely disagree with your comment, I’m in gratitude of your effort and we will always need new comments.

            I’m upvoting you because I respect your opinion, but disagree, because commenting for the sake of commenting reduces the overall quality of a thread and downvote myself, because by posting this comment I am contributing to the issue.

        You literally just repeated my exact point, but left out “to see”

        You want it, upvote it; you don’t, downvotes it. Are we actually just fighting for the sake of fighting? I thought this wasn’t Reddit.
