I think of downvotes and upvotes as head nods, and head shakes.
Head nods and head shakes are not constructive criticism.
Removing the ability to give low effort or low quality criticism would encourage us to put effort into real criticism, no?

Yeah, but most of that reaction was pretty lame. It was rooted in people being mad that they can’t mass dislike something as a form of harassment. I honestly don’t miss dislikes at all, I don’t know that the usage as “this is not a good video” ever outweighed the usage as “as a chud, we collectively hate this person and their ‘ideology’ so we’re going to utterly tank their like to dislike ratio”. Besides, its been working fine on Hexbear if I’m honest.
