RE: I’m not a content creator - A late night freewrite
I would argue that we should remove how much an article made, the number of likes/dislikes etc.
These are some of the social proof "tactics" that don't really add much to the platform but do add to the anxiety.
Make it simple, allow anyone to upvote/downvote but only showing them to the author. Currently when someone stars downvoting everyone starts.
I agree, the value should be a less central aspect of the post (maybe it could be hidden for the normal user). And who up/downvoted a certain content should not be displayed on the frontend at all.
