      It’s not supposed to be.

      It’s supposed to be for “not relevant or doesn’t add value to the discussion”.

        You’d think after a decade or so somebody would figure out some system better than upvotes and downvotes that don’t mean what everyone assumes they mean. How about a tooltip to explain?

        Even adding a separate 5-star agreement scale next to the up/down arrows would help so I could like upvote for a good contribution and give one star to say I disagree.

      Not originally, but nobody on reddit follows the intent and just use it as a dislike button even if the argument is well thought out.
