All the features you need to make it legitimately useful are behind a 7 buck per month pay wall. Without paying up, it has little if any value IMHO. They got greedy. Had a decent amount of features been free, it would interest me and I might even subscribe ... but as it stands it's a total turn off.

Yeah, but my question is who cares about downvotes when they have little to no consequences?

I mean, fuck it. There are some cool people here but I generally don't fucking care what strangers on the internet think of me. If I post something on poal that people find genuinely objectionable and I get a metric fuckton of downvotes, that's rough. But no one would stop me, assuming it's not CP or the like.

See my convo with PMYB2 in this thread for my explanation on why I think votes matter

It doesn't really address my point though. This all works under the assumption that you are concerned about your internet cred.

Culturally speaking, poal actively discourages downvoting unpopular opinions.

Personally, I can't think of the last time I checked someone's internet score before deciding whether their opinion is worth a shit.

Posl is still small. Most was small once too. Everyone knew each other and you knew what to expect from the other users. If Poal becomes a large platform like Voat, you'll see those iser scores become a much bigger detail. I agree, I dont normally check voting history. But it is done, and like it or not, a lot of users of other platforms base opinions upon it. If they come here, there's a very good chance the mindset will follow them.
