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.

    It’s a signal boost. You want more people to see it, so you help it rise to the top.

    Maybe it’s also a high-five. A positive emotional reaction to something you like.
