big -1 and I see this as a much more dangerous idea than most would imagine
ive been a part of communities that have done this and observed others. people will start structuring things differently, compromising, putting out pandering lowest common denominator tier posts and then using the +/- counter as its own appeal to authority, other people stop engaging either out of disgust or fear, some good ideas and things that would get shared normally actually dont in this environment, list goes on and on
personally idgaf and will stay the same and eat -1s, whatever, but I know theres a slight majority that are not like this and will compromise themselves, and this is a bad problem and a bad culture to have. it also doesn't actually add anything, and people can +1/-1 as is and explain themselves which i think is much better
we already have enough problems on our plate, please avoid this one
