Thanks. That’s actually not too bad an idea. However, I’ll offer that it could lead to critics being silenced. Not necessarily out of nefarious purposes, but people love the downvote train sometimes.

Yeah, that's why I said it's neither because people can be unpredictable. It might not filter out irrelevant content because people love to upvote memes and it might filter out criticism because sometimes people downvote criticism.

Overall like with some other Steam features the value of the feature is dependent on the community, and generally that value has been a net positive.

All good points.

For the same reasons that the YT algorithm is deliberately mysterious, Valve shouldn't be letting people know how to game systems like this.
