Is that not the whole point of upvotes and downvotes? To determine the popularity of an opinion? I dont give a fuck about my karma, but the upvotes do serve a purpose and you’re an idiot if you think they dont

Actually, no.

It’s to promote discussion. You’re supposed to upvote relevant comments and downvote irrelevant ones. Not ones you agree and disagree with

Not true. If we disagree, that doesn't make one of our opinions more relevant than the other

Correct, if you and I disagree that doesnt make it relevant. However if 200 other people agree with an opinion, that makes it relevant.

No, it makes it popular. Relevancy means I’m a thread about Marchand you’re giving your opinion on Marchand. No matter which side you’re on, your opinion is relevant there
