Wow, so I’ve been wrong all this time, huh?
Up until now, I thought the upvote button served the same function as the “like” button on social media. So whenever I liked the content of a post I was reading, or wanted to support the author, or simply as a way of saying thank you, I’d use the upvote button.
After reading this post, I just realized that voting and curation are two different things. I’d never really thought about it before.
