Why do you upvote/downvote?

Is it because of a shitty post? Unlikeable poster?

If someone posts funnies about "triggered" people, I can't determine if the votes are in support of the triggering or support for the lols.

Also, the guy tonight who lost his dad. RIP. People upvoted and downvoted. Why would some upvote and some down vote?

Sometimes I down vote because I'm scrolling and my thumb hits the button.

Those are my two reasons for downvoting. Third is fat-fingering an attempt to upvote when I'm using a tablet.

I upvote all my posts to make myself seem more popular.

I downvote people that make me feel insecure that Im not as witty or cool as them

I upvote funny posts and downvote stupid posts or posts that annoy me

I don't usually vote if I reply

Upvoted = it made me laugh, or I agree

Downvoted = incorrect facts or I disagreed. Or no pics.

Because Paul Allen deserves TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS POSTS DOWNVOTED INTO OBLIVION. Just as the genius known as LucasP needs to have every one of his finely crafted trolls upvoted to the skies.

Sometimes it's a shite post.

Sometimes the poster is an a-hole and a troll.

Sometimes it's done to balance out the downvotes and upvotes or make them a nice even number when I notice they're at an odd number.

Kinda. I just like evenly divisible numbers.

I just downvoted your first post in this thread to 4. Divisible by 2.

I don't, don't ever look at them and not really sure of the point of them. Are they like Reddit where they effect where the content is on the board, or just a meaningless little number?

Every 10 downvotes makes your dick grow 1/10 of an inch.

Upvotes increase your IQ 1 point per hundred votes.
