      You can feel better by seeing the upvoting system as a tool to raise visibility rather than a tool to show agreement with its content.

      I felt this way for a while on the website that is a reverse of “tidder.”

      But then I realized engagement is visibility, visibility is awareness, and awareness drives change. Best we can do is upvote and add to the dissenting thoughts in the comments.
