I'm SO TIRED of fermentation weights that let stuff FLOAT to the top.

Know exactly what you mean, it's super annoying. A good weight should mostly keep things down, but sometimes a sneaky piece (like a spice or a seed) will find a way up the side. @kimk58 is right about the purpose, but the thing is, the weight's main job is to keep the big stuff submerged so mold doesn't get a chance to start. If a tiny bit of parsley floats, it's usually not a big deal. Just make sure your lid is on right to keep the air out.

No way! Fermentation weights letting stuff float? That defeats the whole purpose.

Cabbage leaf under the weight stops floating bits completely.
