I hope they don’t do this, I’ll have to jump ship again. Downvotes are useful for seeing how a comment is actually being received. Say something that sounds true but isn’t? You can see the downvotes, without it you only see the upvotes and upvote the person thinking it is the truth. This happened on youtube, you can’t tell which videos are actually giving you the right knowledge for say a technical problem, all the bad tutorials just seem to be upvoted. I’ve also seen highly upvoted comments on reddit that were completely full of shit, you can’t see how many people downvoted.
I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.
