The main reason sites have upvote/downvote features is to create confrontation and conflict. They want us yelling at each other and insulting each other because that engages more people and makes them more money.

Social media companies are the scum of the fucking earth. Tech needs to be much more heavily regulated than it is. It's long past time to put these intentionally destructive fatcat sociopaths in their place.
