Awful feeling this is going to flop

The problem isn't that there aren't any good ideas, it's the upvote system. It's a popularity contest where people are enticed to participate in superficial group-think. If a good idea is simple to grasp, it'll get upvotes. However, if a good idea is complex and requires nuance and isn't purely black-and-white, it'll get downvotes. Not just that, but people tend to become increasingly adamant about their position and will even feel like they need to attack the popular streamers and other users that espouse an opinion contrary to their own.
