Ask HN: Why do you vote on articles or comments?
Didn't find a previous question in search, and I'm curious about our culture.
What's your personal rubric for voting on HN? Is there something you always do? Or try to avoid doing?

I hardly ever vote on articles. But upvote good (in my opinion) HN questions and answers. I never downvote anything - what is the point? Stuff that does not garner interest or quality feedback quickly sinks off the top couple of pages.
Over the years on HN I have learnt a great deal from other HNers and hope that this continues. The only other site that I hold in similar esteem is StackOverflow but that only for solving specific problems.
