Great post. Policing content to "raise the quality of consciousness" is doing the very thing that fb, reddit, etc. has done to receive such condemnation. It's ironic and hypocritical behaviour. Let there be shitty content. Why care? No one is making you view or upvote it. I thought the whole point of this website was individual freedom to express and share whatever. What are people afraid of? I really don't understand. Are they afraid of making less money maybe?

That would be my guess.
I'm all for allowing whatever content users want to post. I do have my opinions about things that are overvalued and I also have my opinions about what would be more conducive to widespread adoption. But if there's no actual abuse or harm, I don't ask for posts to be flagged, removed, or sent somewhere to be neglected by the rest of the community. All I ask is that I have the appropriate filters to make my own experience personalized. If users are able to do that, then what other people post shouldn't matter to anyone. Filter them out.
Exactly!
