This is getting circular, but the key foundation is that people get rewarded for posts based on voting, which includes both upvoting and downvoting (or you can opt out of if you like, and treat it like a low-censorship platform without rewards).
We're five years in here and that has never changed. If someone is marketing on the basis that this is something like Facebook except you get paid for likes, they aren't doing a very good job.
