It's a simple, I don't agree with your opinion thing. That's it.
It's not supposesd to be agree/disagree, but thanks to a certain techbro who may or not be a robot, it is.
It was supposed to be "this does/not contribute something relevant to the conversation, and I may or not agree."
Any tech bro had nothing to do with this. It is what the community has decided as a whole that an upvote or a down vote means in the context of a conversation on the internet.v I was on Reddit for about 17 years pretty much since the beginning. And before that I was on dig and it's always how it's been used when it comes to the context of conversations.
I'd still upvote something if it contributed to the conversation/discussion/argument, even if i personally didn't agree with what the person is saying.
If it didn't really contribute anything, I'd leave it blank.
