The point isn't vote manipulation, it is clarity of why a post upoated or downvoated. Peop,e would have to stand behind their voats and it would gove an indication as to why posts were up or down voated. Otherwise, we don't know anything but raw scores.

Again, it's usually self-evident why a post gets downvoated into a oblivion. Like every time a shitlibs posts another conspiracy theory about Trump getting impeached any day, it's no surprise were the downvoats came from. It's usually like, play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

Actually I disagree. I often do not know why things are up or down voated but suspect it is because the titles of posts appeal or repel them. I have no idea what they think on substance.
People may voat like a herd based on titles. If they actually had to read the articles and post their thoughts we might have a more useful community.
Since that is clearly not practicable, I suggest making everyone at least publicly stand by their voats. What is your objection to that? At least then we could ask them or spelse clearly see the downvoat came from a political opponent or something.
