What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

    Voting creates a signal about the quality of a post so other users can rank posts based on the collective perspective. You don’t vote for yourself, you vote to help other users.
