Psychological warfare targeting the unconscious by the enemy. In the declassified papers I read, and don't think corproate entities liek reddit are not using these sort of tactics.

In spite of censorship a certain amount of material “unconsciously slips by because at face value it seems irrelevant or insignificant.”

The downvoting button is one way in which to do just this.

Right. And I don't think it was necessarily planned that way, it just turned out that way. But now we know better because the downfalls of the up/downvote system have become obvious, so we have saidit's voting system as a next evolution.
