As a somewhat frequent poster myself, I kind of miss the meaningless number going up. It lets me track how many people have seen the stuff I posted and cared enough to react

      I find a good amount of opinions in that post highly idealized and conceptual, but not really the end experience. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing the link.

      I’d be more open to a voting system that rewards actual contribution. For example, a user is allotted (rewarded?) a certain number of votes for every post and every comment they make. The content creators and discussion participants drive the platform.

      I’m sure a whole new set of problems would arise, but I feel it’d be a fresh experience, with less armchair warriors.
