I think about this a lot. Even if a person "only" got 300 views, imagine those 300 people in front of you staring at you.

upvotes dont mean anything without downvotes
Downvotes are a toxic feature when used on other opinions. Brings negativity no one needs.
Neither mean anything, both are completely useless fictional numbers.
they still give at least a wibe of what others opinion is about something. A lot of upvotes or downvotes tells of strong opinions, lack of negative votes tells of lack of negative opinions, a lot of both tells that thing being voted might be controversial.
personally i appreciate honest downvotes a lot, since they let me know i might be wrong about something or at least might need to reconsider.
Fair point, i can see how those can be used to gauge general opinion of people.
