upvoting
Clicking the arrow
Upvoting is clicking a button to express approval or agreement with online content—a post, comment, or answer.
On platforms like Reddit, upvotes increase a post's visibility and contribute to a user's reputation score.
The opposite action is downvoting.
I've been upvoting every comment in this thread.
