I don't stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don't care.

Careful, this is how popular subs/communities end up full of non-relevant stuff, because people upvote without checking if it's appropriate! Thankfully I've not seen much of that here yet, but I think that's because I tend to subscribe to smaller communities.

I would never upvote without seeing what community it is in. It wouldn't happen to me on Lemmy but the Reddit algorithm spent weeks showing you stuff from that sub and it was something I hated, maybe over time I ended up doing what you said, but for now I still have the habit of doing it.

I had the opposite experience, I was always told that if I upvoted certain things I'd see more of it, never seemed to make a difference!
