What does the upvote/downvote do, could someone kindly explain?

Of course, allow me to illuminate for you what it actually does: Nothing.

Edit: Wow thanks so much for the upvotes everyone that's really productive! Hahaha

The upvote button does nothing, but the downvote button subtracts reputation.
