    Why do people care about the up/down votes on their posts? if your'e one of them, can you please explain it to me.

    I don't have an opinion one way or another, but it's just so completely foreign to me to care what anonymous strangers on the internet could possibly want to tell me by liking, upvoting, etc.

    I care when someone engages with the content by responding and conversing. What's the real life equivalent of a like? Someone driving by and yelling "NICE ASS"? who gives a fuck...

    Thank you for your time.

    • that's because you're only active in notes.pango
    • because people are social beings, even if down-/upvotes are a simulation of feedback they matter as long as you are not a robotdrgs
    • Downvotes Simply Because annoy me, because they're the shitty smear marks of spineless dogs. I couldn't give a hoot for upvotes.detritus
