I’m hesitant to downvote. I read the rules and know what a downvote is for, but sometimes I get angry and annoyed I just want to disagree but not take a way the posters right to an opinion

I used to downvote more. Now I only downvote spam with shitty, unhelpful titles that are often reposts.

Comment your disagreement. Have a conversation its relatively painless

It's what makes Poal lame. Everyone knows that downvotes are for what people don't like. Why try to change that? Why not just create a spam button like every other site instead of mislabeling a down arrow for spam button? I get that it's a way to discourage downvote farming, but what about upvote farming? If I want to downvote I should have that right.

Downvoting is a cancer that shouldn't even exist, but its fun how this site uses it as an idiot trap.

Loads of people were mad about youtube removing downvotes like so what? If you don't like something, ignore it and move on.

Imagine actually thinking that downvoting things on the internet is going to do anything, and even worse imagine being so sad and pathetic that someone actually gets a rise out of it.

Not the OP, just anyone in general. I rarely and close to never up nor downvote anything, and simply comment on whether I like something or not.

It did do something on many liberal sites -- it showed that the libs cannot tolerate the truth, and don't dare to allow their users to know how many of them are right wing.

Downvoting doesn't do anything? Yeah it does, it tells the user that people don't like the content. Although, there are certain cases where upvoting and downvoting doesn't make sense in some content. When you see something that you don't agree with, yet you believe it should be trending.

I think that most people are outraged about YouTube decision to remove the dislike button was motivated by YouTube removing community control. If it was downvoted it wouldn’t show in your suggested videos.

Now YouTube can flood you with Anal Rape and pedophile videos and trick you into thinking society has changed. When in reality the vast majority of society says hands off my anus and child! You sick bastard.

That's actually a good point that it doesn't let you hide the content you don't want to see.

My idea of 'ignore / block what you don't like' doesn't work on youtube, and yea I know theres loads of sexual faggot shit on there because I watch it.

One problem is I watched a few faggot videos, and now my front page is full of near naked men which doesn't even have age restrictions on it. You can watch faggots in their underwear talk about their porno activity and it isn't age restricted so even children could end up seeing it.

Its basically unconsensual porn, if I don't want to look at it its still there flooding my front page now.

Even worse watch a boat video! Get ready to be swarming with boats. Fortunately I love boats! I will not buy or own one but like to watch them in action. If you’re curious I will list my faves as a landlubber…

um...sweetie, that hasn't been my experience

If it will make you happy to know, I do expand my anus. Then, I wipe and flush. It’s a ritual, some times I spray that air freshener when I’m at a friends house. But that rarely happens because I am the master of my bowel movements. I crap as I please.. ;)
