I am concerned when it becomes a pattern, because it destroys the quality of conversation on this website.

It hasn't become a pattern, it is one, so far as I have observed.

However, it is a better condition on hubski than reddit, because likes are inhrenetly shares, so if one person gets severely upvoted in a conversation, the person arguing against them also gets seen just as much, and not getting shares doesn't hide a person.

The real danger is muting, in that aspect, and you will never know how many people are muted, and prevented from speaking in a conversation, while you can see the vote disparity.
