@GalaxyClutch, I'd say it's more worth it to have a conversation about the issue; it's an important one. Besides, I think we'd both agree that this was better than spamming (crazy as it is to be writing full length novels in comment sections).
@Vampireax, Yes; and thank you. @GalaxyClutch, lol I know

Quality conversations are so rare these days. Well put.
It's a matter of thinking ratinoally, and I'd rather have a community that posts things that take creativity; as it would mentally benefit people generally.
I'm not advocating for people to always upvote on stuff that we think is interesting, takes skill, time and effort all of the bloody time (I acknowledge that people aren't necessarily obligated to do so, or might have different thoughts about the save; it's all good) but as for the people who do upvote stuff constantly, I suggest that the general attitude of how we decide to actually upvote stuff should change.
We're not saying you gotta be innovative or creative all the damn time, but it's certainly good to be that way at least once in a while. This thought process becomes less and less reflected in the individuals you, I and others are seeing today. We express disappointment, not because we hate everybody and act like children, but because we wish to articulate what exactly is causing people to act irrationally or in bad thought.
Like, we make stuff, you can do it casually or you can even make bad stuff, but don't let that trump the GOOD things that were already here -- we value creativity and thought above most/all things. And I remember when the community had a similar point of view! Sadly, this attitude has lapsed by a surprising margin. People aren't posting stuff for the sake of imagination or because they're acually trying, but "beacuse I felt like it."
For exmaple, they don't notice that we push for people to look at things more creatively and more importantly, imaginatively and with at least a LITTLE bit of innovation (any creativity is good for us). The don't even notice that we don't mean that everyone should be forced to "be creative"; there's an obvious balance there that should be struck.
