upvotes
Online approval clicks
Upvotes are votes of approval on social media platforms and online forums, used to signal agreement, appreciation, or quality.
On Reddit, upvotes push content higher in rankings; on other platforms they may be called likes or similar.
The verb means to cast such a vote: I upvoted your comment.
High upvote counts confer visibility and informal credibility.
