Removing downvoting feels intuitively wrong to me (eg, I believe that dissent is a really important part of a healthy democracy). If all those mega-corp platforms are removing downvoting, then I’m pretty confident my intuition on this matter is correct

Is Reddit getting rid of down votes?!
No, reddit is not removing downvotes. The post was alluding to when they removed displaying downvotes scores.
Like, okay you down voted, we totally care and all, but no one will see it style?
Well that’s depressing, I went over to seattle on old and it had a lot of content. It doesn’t show any votes if you’re not signed in.
If so, that’s just hilarious.
I suspect soon they’ll remove voting altogether, replaced by a measure of how long it held attention.
Their ranking algorithm very clearly leans on a relative engagement metric pretty heavily, and has for a while.
Yes now that engagement is directly monetized, you’re likely correct
