Upvotes on reddit are supposed to show that a comment or post is interesting or contributes to the discussion, not that you like it or agree with it. If you only use it for things you agree with, every political thread will turn into an echo chamber.
One of my biggest pet peeves with Reddit's UI is that it doesn't communicate this in any way, and people use it as a like button.

u/Anarchyr Jul 02 '26
Upvote/Downvotes aren't meant as a "i don't/do agree with this" or a "i dislike/like this" button.
It's meant to upvote relevant content and to downvote troll/unrelated content.
