But if OP is posting a link to a legit article. That’s not an opinion, that’s facts. Downvoting facts makes them less likely to be seen by others.
Articles can be full of shit too. If someone posts an article from OANN, a news outlet that makes Fox News look like Reuters by comparison, would you not expect downvotes?
Of course, if supposed information turns out to be bullshit, yes indeed downvote into oblivion.
My whole point though is that if the information actually checks out, don't downvote it just because you don't like the information. That only serves to help bury the information and make it less likely to be seen by others.
