Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you’re downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion.
From reddiquette. You are not supposed to downvote people you disagree with so long as they are contributing to the discussion. I’m not sure if I ever saw this guide line followed in my ten years of Reddit though.
Convenience really is what you buy with your data/attention in a lot of these cases.
Facebook makes it more convenient to keep in touch with people even though you could reach out and stay in touch via email.
Google maps makes it more convenient to navigate but clearly people used to be able to get along without it.
People are addicted to convenience and companies know that.
