I think it gives lurkers a chance to express their opinion without having to post.

ETA: I did not downvote.......lurkers be crazy.

It's for pussies to show their displeasure without actually having to come out and say something.

It's like throwing a tomato at someone from behind a wall.

I think the number of upvotes helps prioritize threads on the splash page.
