I don’t think downvotes are necessary for every type of post. Art and information are personal, so if you don’t like it you should just move on.

I think opinion pieces, advice or just wrong information are the exact reason why downvotes are needed.

Advice with a lot of downvotes appears to be wrong. A news source with a lot of downvotes appears to misleading or false. If you post your opinion, downvotes show people disagree with your point of view.

It works for me, and if you disagree, feel free to downvotes this comment. I don’t seem it as a personal attack.

Edit: fyi, I upvoted your post as like the engagement on this subject.

As someone not from Germany but living there, I would recommend Tatort (Münster) and Traum Schiff.

I love it, but even if it’s not for everyone I feel like every country has cheesy shows like these and its interesting to see the German version.

Again. That is a valid feeling.

Be sceptical, be cynical, but don’t get that fatalist mindset where you feel like your choices won’t make a difference.

Not every small choice will make a difference, but some will, you just won’t know which one’s or what their effect will be.

The idea here is that by spending too long looking for the prefect solution and dismissing anything that is not perfect, you allow the bad system to thrive.

Regular and consistent changes for the better should not be dismissed because they could be better. Just keep trying to improve the system, no matter how small the change.

Valid point but do you think they would be more or less greedy if they had no competition?

It sounds like you are saying making this change will help good parents be good parents be good parents while bad parents will still be bad parents. I agree.

Your argument about not being responsible for the content your platform hosts is old. If a platform can’t moderate the content it hosts, don’t host it. Most people would even be happy with a reasonable attempt at moderation. I’m not one of those people, I don’t believe companies should profit from an unsafe product, which the prevents safe products from gaining traction as they are more expensive to run.

If you allow user generated content in your game, you should be responsible for it.

As for changing the rating not achieving anything, you’re wrong again. I imagine there are a lot of adults with kids who are unaware of the chat elements of Roblox and how it exposed their children to sex offenders. Changing the rating would likely cause some people to pause for thought when seeing it. It would probably limit it’s visibility on some store front. Possibly be removed from others. And if nothing else, I imagine the news cycle around having its rating changed would reach a lot of people who wouldn’t usually be aware of this.
