Thank you for the response. 🙂

It’s not my call, but is that allowing perfect to be the enemy of good? My understanding is that AMAs began on Reddit @ [Reddit - Please wait for verification](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmA/) where they use comment sorting called Q&A. If it’s already the established terminology at the source, surely it’s ‘good enough’ elsewhere?

If your argument is that the AMA folks might find a name like “Answers”, “Q&A”, or the like confusing (if not I didn’t understand your point, I guess, sorry) does that mean you’re implicitly arguing that they would find the name Upvotes to be more intuitive? I really struggle to believe that’s correct. It certainly wouldn’t be amongst Redditors, which leaves me wondering who it is you’re catering towards.
