As a somewhat frequent poster myself, I kind of miss the meaningless number going up. It lets me track how many people have seen the stuff I posted and cared enough to react

Nobody needs to vote, but if most people do vote, makes it easier for everyone to find good content.
The best content on this platform often has less than 10 votes. The most? The sociopolitical headline mill communities.
If certain people feel that’s the good content, that’s their prerogative. I don’t.
Now you’re conflating quality with popularity.
A popularity metric is still handy since there is no objective quality metric.
That’s a fair point.
