You only want downvotes so you can censor opinions you don't like — either that, or you're extremely naïve; Reddit has become a leftist echo chamber because they mass downvote opinions they don't like to keep them off the front-page — and after a certain threshold is met: the poster will be banned and all their posts will be removed.

Downvotes are censorship.

Downvotes only censor if they are subtracted from the upvotes.

YouTube shows both (but they want to change that on corporate media channels).

The ratio is important info.

An interesting new idea: What if you could only vote if you left a comment explaining your vote? Not too practical but food for thought.
