    It has always been only a signal for popularity. It’s the same on every other site with similar systems, including ones that have existed long before reddit. Even in the early 2000s, there were endless reminders that the upvote button was not meant as an “I agree” button, but that’s not how it’s being used.

      Same as the link trust they used to use as a signal for trust. Again it was about popularity.

      Trust here does not mean trustworthy, but rather higher likelihood to be answer that is sought. Calling it trust or authority as just marketing.
