Voting up or down of posts was a bad idea from the beginning.

IMO, it's not entirely bad. It's bad because they can cancel each other out and affect the ranking. On YouTube you can see the ratio of up to down votes without cancelling out.

There are other options, and only those that are creative will seek out and implement these new methods.

I think they have been suppressing better options and deeper metadata for us (with the excuse we're too stupid, lazy, etc) and keeping all their fancy data analysis for their surveillance state.

I have been involved in computing for forty years, and back in the day we used to just use a search function.. we didn't care who voted for anything..

The MSM would be unable to control the narrative without up and down voting.
