The more orange up-arrows each one receives, the higher probability a post has of reaching the coveted front page of the site. By contrast, with too many blue down-arrows, a post becomes increasingly irrelevant, buried beneath hundreds, if not thousands, of other submissions.

While these votes are given out with simple clicks of the mouse, a growing population of Reddit users have made this mundane task far more entertaining.

Through dozens of GIF animations, the act of giving a Reddit post a vote has been turned into artistic adventures of epic proportions.
