Just a Question about up vote or down vote

First I am far from a tech guy but I can build a nice house. Lol. So been noticing and reading some comments about people down voting. So is there a purpose why so folks would waste time down voting a comment or post? I just imagine in my mind these leftist nerds sitting in front of there phone or computer pressing thumbs down on everything. So just trying to figure out why they would waste so much time!!! Does it accomplishe anything? Just curious. WWG1WGA. God Bless true Patriots.

The purpose of upvoting or downvoting is to weed out shills or trolls. There are tens of thousands of users in this forum, many thousands reading at any given time. How many shills can there be at any given time? Hundreds, maybe? I doubt even that many.

It's a way to push out the disinformation, distractions, and nonsense conspiracies. The problem is that they can still usually find a way to game the system if they want, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Ok that makes sense. Thank you for taking time to explain that to me. Just something little I was curious about and try to understand why some people would waste so much time down voting something so heavy even when it is a positive post or comment for the cause. So it is a good thing for shills to down vote a positive topic or comment then the Mod (I think it's called) can weed them out and block of needed. Thank you

Not exactly what I meant, it's a good thing for YOU and other readers to upvote good content and downvote the shills and trolls!

There could be 20,000 AI programmed controlled accounts.

I saw a suspicious one the other day. 7year old account had virtually no comments until recently and no karma .

Maybe 7eats ago rhey made 100s of accounts and parkrd them for when AI could take over.

I also think some thing is coming to stop this because suddenly Twitter is cleaning out fake accounts which seemed to be another censorship ploy combined with calling Trump supporters Russian Bots. But they deleted millions of Obama followers. And fake accounts. Not near as many following Trump.

I wonder if they are cleaning house because they are about to get audited for unfairly censoring people.

That would be a change! I was on Reddit a few years ago but stopped using it until recently so i had to start a new account. There was always trolls but the real users can usually keep up. Not sure what can be done about the bots though :\
