There are plenty of times I click on a post, read the content, read the comments, then do not vote on it one way or another either because I did not agree with it, or I did not find it interesting, informative, or whatever. If I do like it, or find it interesting or informative or whatever, I will up vote it. It took a while to get accustomed to that culture, especially after voat, but I adapted and now it seems natural and preferred. At he end of the day, it is their site and they are free to do with it what they will. I can either stay and abide, or leave. Same as any brick and mortar establishment with which I do business. Same with any employer I’ve had. Down vote is for spam. Period.
problem: how are you expecting downvotes to contain spam if excessive downvoting is considered brigading?
