I give out upvotes like I’m oprah
Upvote: If I really agree with the comment, enjoy the comment, or the comment somehow made me feel positively.
Nothing: Most circumstances, as in just kind of agreeing with the comment, general neutrality, not thinking much of anything, slightly disagreeing with the comment, etc.
Downvote: Misinformation, really disagreeing with the comment, or the comment somehow made me feel negatively. Also, blatant hate, racism, homophobia or transphobia, bigotry, etc.
Upvote good, downvote bad
I’ll only downvote someone who is being actively hostile or trolling. I upvote comments I agree with or find entertaining.
I try and upvote any post I like, or that I believe will at least contribute to a good conversation. I pretty much only downvote bigotry, ignorance, trolling, and bullying.
If I chuckle or breathe out my nose in a chuckling manner, that’s enough vote.
Generally upvote anything that adds to the conversation. However, if a top comment is good, but outclassed by lower comments that I think should be seen then I’ll downvote it.
Upvote quality content.
Avoid downvoting.
I upvote all threads where I comment and where the question is interesting, funny or original.
I downvote every single video game related question because I hate gamers and their bullshit and all leading questions that are just disguised rants.
I generally don’t like to be the first person to downvote something, so I’ll only downvote a post that’s already at 0 or -1
Whichever I accidentally hit while scrolling with my big fat banana thumbs
sometimes i go into posts i like and just upvote basically every comment
Anybody who complains about getting downvotes automatically gets an additional downvote from me.
I seek out those with low comment karma and upvote them.
Neither. Reddit logs your votes. I’m fully expecting that people I know will someday tell me they’ve been watching me on reddit for years.
It all boils down to whether or not I am entertained. It’s pretty simple.
I upvote all posts I comment on except unless I strongly disagree with the post.
Upvote what adds to the discussion. Downvote gratuitous comments and non sequiturs.
Upvote: posts that fit the sub and relevant comments.
Downvote: posts that don’t fit the sub and posts/comments that are irrelevant to the post or are offensive.
I try to upvote everyone that replies to me. I don’t upvote hostile or nonsensical replies unless it’s funny enough to overcome those hurdles.
I try not to downvote anything unless it’s blatantly offensive or misinformation. I hand out upvotes like candy though
Upvote if:
Funny
I agree with it
Thought provoking
Already has a lot of upvotes
Downvoted too much (just feel bad)
If it’s the first reply and I upvoted the original comment
If it’s posted by OP
Downvote:
If I disagree,
Homophobic,
Unfunny,
Racist,
Backs up Nestlé,
Backs up Russia
Over use of slurs
Breaking a chain
I’m a super generous upvoter, I pretty much upvote anything I agree with, that’s funny, that teaches me something new, that’s helpful etc.

I don’t downvote too often. I wouldn’t downvote someone just because I disagreed with their opinion, unless their opinion is very offensive or they are clearly trolling. I hate seeing people get downvoted on a thread about what movie do you love etc. Like it’s a harmless opinion, come on!
I upvote things for visibility, because they’re neat, they made me laugh, cute animals, news regardless of whether I agree with the headline or not because information is what the internet is for… also tons of art and music.
I rarely downvote. It’s reserved in my mind for people who are openly insulting towards users, say or do bigoted things, promote baseless conspiracies, hate speech in general, say misogynistic stuff, or promote violence against animals (like, throwing snowballs at cats).
I rarely give out downvotes, but give out literally thousands of upvotes. I’ll always downvote Russian disinformation and trolls too. Stop trying to sway public opinion.
I upvote anything that is funny. This is why so many bad jokes make it to the top.
Upvote – Any positive emotional response.
Downvote – low effort trolling, Ads, bots, not appropriate for the sub (either breaks rules or r/lostredditors material), or I feel like they’re just being a dick for no reason.
upvote if i laugh or agree, or even find it interesting,
nothing if i don’t really care,
downvote if it’s bigoted or just plain incorrect
Upvote trolls always
