Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

    Why does the frequency matter?

    Is it a ratio to the number of posts?

    If I come across a sub with a lot of posts but little engagement should I feel bad for up voting a bunch of them so whoever stumbles across the community next knows someone liked the content?

    What if they have 6 posts in the main feed? Should I only up vote one of them to avoid spamming? Do I need to pay more attention to the community and not the post itself to avoid being an upvote spammer?

    Should I only upvote a limited number of comments per post or per community?

    The whole spam argument makes zero fucking sense outside of multiple people intentionally brigading niche subs, which is bad. An individual voting how they want is completely different from brigading.

      Why does the frequency matter? Because that’s part of the definition of spam Try doing this in social media who have anti spam system. You will be prevented from doing more of the similar actions very fast

            Point me to a rule that makes it clear that voting is spam. In general, spam means posting the same thing over and over, which is what you are doing by not answering any questions and just going ‘spam is spam’ over and over. Generally they mean posts, not even comments.

            Point me to a posted rule that says voting too much is spam. Not some random comment, just one of the rules you are referring to.

            Edit: It’s been 5 hours, still waiting for an example.

              Ngl, I wish they’d answered you. Either it has an effect, which makes it reasonable to do against misinformation, or it has no effect, which means it doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be classified as spam.

              Like, people don’t get notifications for votes, right? I don’t, but maybe mods do? That’s the only way I could see it being spam in the classical definition.
