I think more people should contribute instead of just leaching. The economics for platforms work when only 1% is producing content while the rest is consuming. This vocal minority is more and more driving every platform to extremes, the voting doesn't even work on HN people downvote accurate comments. Downvoting without clarification doesn't happen IRL you have to express your opinion.

What about for every comment you get the right for one downvote? More comments from people why they feel the need to downvote, that would clarify a lot more and could bring new insights to every discussion in general.
