# Upvotes & Downvotes

## What are Upvotes and Downvotes?

Upvotes and Downvotes are common methods used in community-driven products to allow users to signal their approval or disapproval for a post. This voting system serves to push quality content to the forefront and helps us refine our recommendation engine to better serve our users.
