Agreed. And don’t care either other than out of a sense of curiosity. And if you’re not spamming, hopefully you’re not getting downvoted. However, there are posts on which I will do neither; or I should say don’t up vote for one reason or another. My general rule is, if I click on it I will up vote regardless of the material. However, with the recent influx of users, I find myself clicking and not up voting. It’s sort of a compromise for not down voting those things with which I disagree but am not inclined to discuss because after all, they are my own biases.

It's more about enforcing civility through extreme transparency; I get it. It's a good feature to have, and enables anyone who's bored to sniff out brigadiers and bad actors, instead of relying on any one person to make a judgement call. I'm all for more transparency, wherever it fits. Hell, if I ever run a business with lots of employees: there'll be cameras/mics everywhere (where legal), and anyone who works for me will have access to snoop through them at will. I'm sure it's what nanny states tell themselves all the time, when setting up their dystopian nightmares. For me, it'd be more about covering my own ass— can't get sexual misconduct allegations if there's nowhere for you to lie about where it happened.
