Description

This was when they eliminated downvotes for a day. The result was that the image on the left had +44 instead of being in the deep negatives.

The image on the left is clearly a shit post I don’t get why it has so many down votes, people don’t have a sense of humor lol

Left is ironical, and people laugh with that; right is well made but its just boring cutesy.
Left is more heavy in message, direct and inderect message (even if its done in a shitty way); while right is just technique with a very simple message (just what is happening).
This applies too when The weaver post a funny thing and with his sketch-like style gets houndred of upvotes while other pics about a very well done and reallistic background normally barely gets less than 100 upvotes.
Remember that drawings is a form of art, and art born from the need to communicate something, the info in the message its what it matters the most, more than the technique.
 
I agree with this. Left is ugly but original, while right is cute but quite ordinary.  
Also, fixed a mistake.

The only filtering I had was set only show +5 votes entry, the new system would render this sort of filtering useless as a lot of junk would show up since it takes so little votes up now…
 
I’m glad all is back to normal.

It was a test to see how it would work. Not that anyone reads the site updates.
 
Turns out? We need downvotes, or we get very very very nasty comments, some of which don’t break the rules.

little question:  
why were the Strasser brothers kicked out of the Nazi party by Hitler himself because they were considered ‘‘too left-wing’’?

M8 even before the change 21 upvotes was almost nothing and 44 wasn’t much better. If the 21-vote picture was posted today however it would likely end up with a lot more votes.

The point is, before the change, the shitpost had a score of -180, much lower than the score of the other pic. Now shitposts have higher scores than old art, making real, valuable, art impossible to find.
