Voting is great though. It helps sort wheat from chaff.
... Is what i would like to say, but maybe that only works in smaller communities. I know a YouTuber who is currently getting baselessly harassed by popular assholes and she probably has an insane number of dislikes.
Except it doesnt.
It just reinforces blind group think, no thought or reason. Upvotes don't make people more right, downvotes don't make people more wrong. Its just thoughtless highschool cliquey shit, that was intentionally created to manipulate users into conflict to provoke more engagement.. Theres a reason this upvote/downvote shit started on ad driven social media... Only you get to do it all hidden behind the anonymity of a button.
it's not for right and wrong. just a different perspective from sorting by new. unless someone has a better idea. still have to keep a finger on the block button, not just for the terrible and awful stuff, but all that you don't care about. No omniscient god swooping in to curate the content fairly and truely, and AI is not that.
