How much are you Uptrusting? Downtrusting?

I mean pressing the green and red arrows on peoples posts and comments.

Just curious how people are using this feature, as you can't directly see who has Up and Down trusted a post.

Currently, my threshold is reasonable high. I hit UpTrust if something is well thought out/I like the thought process behind it, and/or if it presents something novel that I like/agree with/find plausible.

That means something like 1 in 10 things I read, I hit the green button. Maybe? That's very approximate, it's hard to gauge without measuring it.

And I've been using the site regularly for a couple of months, and I don't remember having downtrusted a single post/comment.

BTW, this is very much not advocacy! I've no idea if this is how I should be operating, or it would be better (for any of numerous versions of "better") for me to be doing something differently.
