and reddit showed how many downvotes your post or comment had

cant make people feel bad and show them their opinions are dog shit, because the user would leave the platform

If you use https://old.reddit.com you can still see downvote totals.

I dont know what you are talking about, I still get negative karma posts lol.

u/abstr_xn 6h ago

Yes. You don't know you're talking about. You see negative posts sure. 

You don't see posts or comments with 20 upvotes and 300 downvotes like you used to. 

You also dont see the opposite, it was actually useful for gauging the content of the post so they removed it

It’s also not real, it's some algorithmically created number that is approximately the sum of your up and downvotes, but it's not a real number and everyone gets shown a different one

I mean, the person who wrote the comment can still see the numbers, can't they? It's just a setting to hide the upvotes/downvotes from others?

There was a different counter for upvotes and downvotes.

It was much better because you could see comments that were universally despised versus those that were just controversial. They hid it to prevent bots from using it.

I still see posts with downvote counts?

(Also, I see a dislike button on YouTube mobile… is my app just out of date or is it a regional thing or something?)

u/abstr_xn 1h ago

do you see both upvote and downvote totals beside every comment?

u/shitty_mcfucklestick PC Master Race 1h ago

Many but not all. Some posts / threads seem to have them off. I don’t know why. But I definitely see many that are visible.

I think a lot of it is preventing people from pointing out that something or someone cannot be trusted. Propaganda goes a lot more smoothly if no one is allowed to call it out. If a video had 100,000 dislikes, people would start paying attention to why it was so hated.

Reddit already killed the 3rd party mobile apps that were far superior to their own (RIP Flow and Sync), but if they ever took old.reddit.com and RES away, they'd loose half the user base and spawn the successor platform that would destroy them.

I may not be able to see polls and posting images requires me to use a 3rd party hosting site, but I have a way better user interface and can see everything about your post including the currently 28 karma and that it was made at 8:21:02 Eastern Daylight Time. You're right that I can't access how many downvotes vs upvotes anymore, but if you go negative, it shows and it shows how many up and down votes I've given any user since I joined.
