    Your own upvote on your own comment doesn’t mean anything

    Neither do words, or little magnetic particles lain down nicely on a polymer disc, until people decide they mean something.

      I don’t think anybody decided that an upvote count of 1 means anything.

        Well, I don’t think we have decided on a standard meaning for an upvote in the first place, so we do as we like.
        In the end, it’s all about what makes me feel more satisfied.
