It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin.

We need something like this:

Which is why its function needs to be both clarified officially and maximized to benefit all users. If it's directed to followers specifically, then you're right, that would be madness, and it's probably happening already since there's been a lot of posts telling people to both upvote and boost. If it's actually just bumping it up in feeds more, then no one is getting that spam and it's being adjusted properly for being still popular. That's just it, I don't know which it really is doing, and the fact there's two ways to "upvote" is confusing.
