I think about this a lot. Even if a person "only" got 300 views, imagine those 300 people in front of you staring at you. (sh.itjust.works)

upvotes dont mean anything without downvotes

Neither mean anything, both are completely useless fictional numbers.

they still give at least a wibe of what others opinion is about something. A lot of upvotes or downvotes tells of strong opinions, lack of negative votes tells of lack of negative opinions, a lot of both tells that thing being voted might be controversial.

personally i appreciate honest downvotes a lot, since they let me know i might be wrong about something or at least might need to reconsider.

Fair point, i can see how those can be used to gauge general opinion of people.

Downvotes are a toxic feature when used on other opinions. Brings negativity no one needs.
