Honestly I think you are right. If it were obvious votes were public people would act differently, and while that’s not desirable from a content perspective, it is from a user perspective.
People don’t know unless it is in their face. Put it where everyone can see it. More drama, more engagement? Whatever.
Some games just aren’t worth the time anymore. RPGs for me, which I used to love so goddamn much, are just too slow.
And, you get bored of shit. Oh another grind progression… hmm do I want to do this? I need uninterrupted ti.e to actually enjoy it…
