i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

There is no way possible you can make humans actually follow that principle. People always dumb things down as much as possible, and “I like this” or “I dislike this” is default. That’s the problem.

Make the UI require a label/reason for a vote, like Slashdot.
Slashdot doesn’t have a downvote. It has labels like “off-topic” and “flamebait” that serve to lower a comment’s score. It’s possible to misuse them of course, but that requires an active decision to do so; the obvious action is to pick a label honestly.
