@Vampireax, Well put; I agree. People do not want to contribute to the conversation because they don't think that they have to. But the initial motivation is catered to by those who make memes, instantly making it look like the people who get the most recognition speak for the community generally. This falacy leads them to think irrationally.

It also helps the new guys, who are just discovering their talents and need some help gaining momentum. How can a newbie compete with people "ironiclaly" upvoting a page full of cows or the word GOLF spelled backwards? That just kills the community. We can't make you care, but it won't hurt you to try to care, even a little.

On the flip side, too many objectively garbage saves keep gettinf "ironically" voted onto FP. Seriously guys, you can just downvote them. That also takes no time at all, and it helps out the honest creators.

If you look at an awesome save and don't vote, that just pushes the creators into the dirt after all their hard work. It won't hurt you to show some appreciation to these people. It takes 0.5 seconds to click the upvote.

So that goes back to what I said, where if people would just vote on more than art or memes. If you +1 art, okay. You +1 a meme, okay. But why only that? You should go +1 some other things also. ALSO, not instead. Not only. Spread the love, don't just only give love to one or two things. I rememeber a time where every save on FP would get over 100 votes, because more people would vote on every save they saw, instead of ONLY voting on the edgy ones with mainstream appeal.

All they see is a funny little troll saying funny little things, and they laugh and join in, because it's easier than dealing with bigger questions, like why is a meme outvoting complex machines or landscapes? The creator of this save even said they'd prefer their other saves would get some recognition.

It really shows a lack of thought or rationality when people just throw hate at anyone proposing a solution, and then the random passersby see the name calling and they just chuckle and agree without knowing or reading anything, because they aren't invested anyway.

The problem is when people *only* vote for edgy things and they completely ignore the hundreds of other saves that deserve some recognition. "Wow look, a logo from a game I played a few hours of." Instead of "wow, I bet someone worked hours to make this and it looks good." Why not both? If people voted on memes AND other saves, then the divide would be nonexistent, or at least less massive.
