Personally I believe this is a very poor take

        Not sure what the title was before you changed it, but if I see a post in my feed that looks like this (without the “very bad take” part), I wouldn’t even want to open the post to see the description. I’m glad you clarified by editing the title, but without making your stance clear in the title from the very beginning, it would be bound to receive a barrage of downvotes.

          The title was the same thing but without the "[Very bad take] " bit, I probably wouldn’t have read the description and just jumped to the comments. I don’t really care about votes though, I find comments much more interesting. If I post content I just take any votes as a review of the content, if I’ve commented my honest opinion and put some thought into the comment only to get downvotes and no comments really explaining why then I’m a bit disappointed.

      I understand that.

      I upvote insightful, educational or newsworthy content and downvote clickbait. Especially YouTube clickbait.
