I am not sure if downvotes are what we need here
I dislike that the downvote button disappeared on YT videos since it was helpful to see dislike counts on videos.
But I also don't like when comments get harder to read like on HN or people just downvote because they don't like the opinion of others (reddit comes to my mind there). They could just as well just not upvote.
You aren't going to change a person's opinion by downvoting them. So why downvote them? What does it achieve?
Just throwing in my 2 sats here
Yeah you're right, it was a bit of a kneejerk comment. I'm not sure what the right solution is.
