    most of the answers, (NOT all) are from bored kids, that have no idea what they are talking about.

    So they argue with everyone, give out thumbs down, ask questions that they never give a "bets answer.

    I'd guess that less than half of these questions are real;

    So I ignore them.

    I don't waste my time with reporting, and only give insutling answers a thumbs down.

    That is the purpose of the thumbs down. If you don't like an answer, it indicates the answer contained opinion and a thumbs up or down indicates an agreement with that opinion.90% of the Q&As here have at least a hint of opinion in them, so you can see lots of thumbs.
