upvote/downvote system is flawed

allows to manipulate, promotes groupthink and kind of harassing people

it maybe worked over decade ago or so, but it's definitely not state of art nowadays.

edit. or maybe it just doesn't work for e.g news/discussions (especially about politics and other "hot" topics)

meanwhile for meme sites it should be fine
