Why or why not? If yes, do you have any suggestions on how to achieve that?

    It matters to connect with the right people, that’s all.

    ^This right here is the key, especially here. If there’s a post that only has three upvotes it isn’t a “bad” post like the downvote people want to say - it’s niche. So in that case, where the audience for something is so few people then the downvoters could prevent those three people from seeing the niche content that they like. Selfish, really.

      I think upvotes or downvotes aren’t the best idea of people want to have a discussion and learn from each other.

      Certain websites that shan’t be named you basically have to say the “right thing” - but exchanging of opinions or someone saying something different or new isn’t inherently bad. It’s just means we aren’t locked in an echo chambers where everyone thinks like the person next to her/him.
