The name says it all. Upvote beggars beg for upvotes. They are annoying. That’s all I have to say.
When you vote to kick somebody in rainbow six siege you have to say dude upvote to get your team to kick the person.
when you post a good post on a social platform (for instance reddit) and that post slowly gets upvoted, but when more people notice that particular post, your post will be upvoted faster and faster until it eventually reaches frontpage.
dude 1 :"oh shit, come over here bro! my post has been noticed by many people! my post gets upvoted faster and faster! it's like an upvote acceleration!"
dude 2:"nice bro, you'll hit the frontpage soon"!
The opportunity to feel like an late Roman Empire emperor deciding whether a man should live or die with a hand gesture, usually pointing the thumb downwards (downvote) mimicking a stab with an edge, because a murder always boosts ratings, or pointing it upwards, mimicking an erected figure denoting life (for only a living being can stand on its own feet) if the gladiator is too cute to kill.
The purpose of up-/downvoting is to possibly enrage the content creator and feel like you really did something there. The system is based on subjective judgment, so it doesn't really matter. Some people are affected by the qualitative nature of this system, and are deeply hurt by dislike of what they like, so they dislike back, which sucks them into a maelström of thumbing up and down, in a quasi-imperial inside power struggle within the confines of a digital coliseum, tirelessly standing for two co-rulers in an empire falling apart, fighting against each other for....... nothing.
The upvote/downvote dynamic really kicked off last night for King Louis XVI. Will heads roll? Will wigs pile up one atop another?

This is when someone agrees with something so much they take the time out of their day to upvote it, click the comments button and fucking break reddit for some post about veganisim that was probably posted by an all-carnivore.
*Post about veganisim*
Karen: “HOLY SHIT YAAASSS”
*Upvotes it then upvotes it again from the comments*
OP: (to karen) “I fucking hate vegans why the fuck did you double upvote”
