I’ve been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it’s actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I’m glad we have that here.

It was a scandal when it disappeared from YouTube, but I didn’t realize it was missing from Reddit too for much longer!

    Well, different post categories indicate different meanings (usefulness).

    For example, in political communities, I can get a rough estimate of the majority of users’ views/ideologies regarding a specific topic.
