What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

    I suspect content voting systems were a way to attenuate the proliferation of “me too”, “this^” or similar posts on forums.
