I disagree. The upvote system is prone to creating echochambers. You post bad news and people will downvote it. You post something controversial. People will downvote it. I mean I don't think it's a bad system. I just believe that ranking content visibility based on it has some downsides.
The irony of people downvoting this because they disagree with you ๐ Does Reddiquette still apply here?
I think the upvote/downvote system just allows for a larger community before it becomes too big to be a good community
Then you search controversial topics and find interesting stuff
