Voting on receipts

Voting is how the community votes to validate or challenge claims. Every receipt carries a vote score, and that score determines how content surfaces across feeds.

Here's the actual voting control used throughout the app. Click the buttons to see how voting works:

How voting works

Each receipt displays a vote score on its card. This score goes up when people upvote and down when people downvote.

• Upvote (validate): Shows that you found the receipt helpful, accurate, or valuable. Use this when a receipt adds genuine insight to the video.
• Downvote (invalidate): Shows that you found the receipt unhelpful, inaccurate, or off-topic. Use this when a receipt doesn't add value.

Who can vote

Almost everyone! Any signed-in user can vote on receipts, including:

• Viewers: Can vote on public and custom feed receipts
• Commenters: Can vote
• Contributors: Can vote
• Admins: Can vote
• Owners: Can vote

The only people who cannot vote are users who aren't signed in. You need an account to participate in voting.

Things to know

• Votes are anonymous: Other users can't see who voted on a receipt. Only the total score is visible.
• You can change your vote: Changed your mind? Just click the other vote button to switch, or click your current vote again to remove it.
• One vote per receipt: You can either upvote or downvote a receipt, but not both at the same time.
• Vote responsibly: Voting helps the whole community find the best content. Use upvotes for receipts that are genuinely helpful, and downvotes for content that's inaccurate or off-topic.
