I suspect soon they’ll remove voting altogether, replaced by a measure of how long it held attention.

Their ranking algorithm very clearly leans on a relative engagement metric pretty heavily, and has for a while.

The voting will stay but your homepage will be a for you page that selects posts based on your usage data and whatever is trending instead of the votes, in an attempt to bring engagement to a maximum. Just like what’s been happening to Instagram for years.
