If you want to vote, you have to comment.

It encourages dialog and discourages horde mentality voting.

Edit: Judging from the number of downvotes, my opinion is very popular. My apologies 😅

    Disclaimer: Not referring to this post, just in general

    Some posts/comments are either from trolls and/or are so stupid that a response from anyone is a waste of time. Downvoting those and moving on is the best way.

    i.e. don’t feed the trolls

    Edit: Upvoted you since this is an unpopular opinion that has at least had some thought put into it. However, I feel like it would just encourage trolls since people would be expected to feed them.

      I would argue, if trolls had to supply a comment, they would tire out or just get banned.

        But in your plan they don’t need to, right? They can still post some troll comment or post and ignore all responses.
