Would social media be as bad with a thumbs down button?

It doesn't seem to help around this joint.

Cleans up the filth a little. But this is also anonymous

No, because we would still have a state named Rhode Island that isn't an island.

Youtube has a hard time making sure the right videos get upvoted like they want, so they end up just removing the downvotes or removing comments.


Social media will never allow a free image to form. It has to be manufactured.

Wouldn't change the leftist algorithms that make liberal posts look good, and conservative posts look bad

That’s how the “cancel” mob patrols Reddit. They camp “New” and instantly downvote r/News, TIL, AskReddit, etc. items that they don’t want others to see.

As soon as it hits -9 (just 9 people to downvote) the post can’t be seen by other people.

So a small group of people can filter content that the majority sees, and conversely upvote “ah ha” content and the ratio of upvotes to time posted pushes that content to the top.

Reddit is good in the sense that it facilitates the dissemination of a vast amount of information. Yet, it’s also terrible for the very reason you point out.
