View submission: Why not have a downvoting tax?

View parent comment

Good point. Though, I think that if we look at the state of social media it's not positivity that's skewing things. If we let positivity/propensity flourish I get the sense that it will balance itself out as long as trending is a relative phenomenon. In other words, to quote Buddy, if many posts are special, then none are ... well, to buck Buddy, save for the exceptions. I would guess that the things that explosively trend do so because most everything else is so easily downvoted. Sorry, what's my point? Taxing downvoting will balance out the Karens and let the rest of us enjoy the ride.
