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 :)

        How is a vote spam?

        Why isn’t upvoting spam? I have upvoted 10 times as many comments as downvoted, and hundreds of times as many upvotes for posts as comments. Is that spam?

        Do words mean anything anymore?

          If the votes on the internet don’t matter - then the downvote brigade shouldn’t care they are excluded

          If the votes on the internet do matter - then the downvote brigade is being acknowledged that they don’t like this, and are being given their free time back when they are uninvited from the community.

            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.
