I have 458 pages of upvoted posts and only 4 pages of downvoted posts, not sure what thay says about me

I think that's pretty normal. First of all, people uploading will have a bias towards things they like, and, as social beings, we tend to like some of the things others like, in other words, you like more posts than those you don't because it's in the nature of posts to have a higher chance of being liked. Alternatively, you upvote more posts because you're smart and you pay less attention to the things you would downvote unless the evoke a specially strong reaction, which is also natural.
I understand that "like" and "upvote" aren't perfectly interchangeable, but the logic stands.

Yeah, I upvote pretty much anything that interests me enough to click on and I look at and go "yeah that's pretty good" or "that looks cool". I'm very loose with them because I have my favorites for posts I really like. Whereas downvoting, a post has to really irritate me to warrant it, since otherwise I just feel bad for reducing the score on an otherwise perfectly fine image. Anything I don't really have a strong opinion on I don't vote on.
