They did delete the upvote/downvote counter a few years back, don't be fooled. Here is what a post used to look like a few years ago.[1]

I really hope they go back on this decision. The site used to feel a lot more active because of it.

They literally did years ago though? You used to be able to tell how many downvotes comments got.

Reddit removed the downvote count for comments that you could previously see, a controversial comment with 12 points and awards could have 1k downvotes against 1012 upvotes but now you can't know. Well, at least reddit allows us to have a cross aside of the points count to know if it is controversial.

What are downvotes useful for on reddit, in your opinion?
They are great for making someone feel bad but what else?

Would be nice to see separate upvote/downvote score rather than an aggregated result though.

Some subs do delete downvotes.
Thankfully you can just turn off the css that does it via RES

I almost never downvote, because I think it's mostly being used in a hostile and counterproductive manner, but I'll make an exception for you.

Would be a truly sigma move if reddit's april fool's prank for 2022 is removing downvotes to help the smaller subreddits.
