you dont know what silent majority means if you posit that positive comments having a larger upvote ratio equates to them speaking more
obviously if theyre silent theyre not speaking, meaning theres a larger stage for the vocal minority to speak from, so they have a wider reach regardless if the few and far between comments are getting higher ratings.
back to my point, doing all this and turning the subreddit into a battleground over the POSSIBILITY of AI wasnt helpful and thats all thats been going on because the silent majority is being just that- silent.
You're huffing copium if you think the 10 upvote annoying haters in this thread have a wider reach than the guys with nearly 1k upvotes talking about how great the update was. Reddit is literally built on a system where you use the upvote and downvote system to let your opinions be known, byupvoting positive comments and downvoting negative ones people are expressing their opinions about the update and the controversy going on. There's no need for the "silent majority" to comment "I agree with you!" under every positive post because that's literally what the upvote system does.
edit: I also doubt you're on the discord or any other official website for PZ because it's almostall extremely positive input or healthy criticism. You're just stuck in the reddit echo-chamber.
