Does the author even know how reddit works? The vote numbers you see aren't real (sidebars and faq on the site itself explain this see https://www.reddit.com/wiki/faq https://www.reddit.com/wiki/faq ) and many subs don't let you downvote unless you join them. Reddit is no panacea or utopia and has plenty of issues of its own, as pointed out by many already.

The numbers are fuzzed by generally a good indicator. There's no way to disable downvoting on reddit. Some subs try to hide the button using custom CSS, but this doesn't affect those with custom CSS disabled sitewide, per-subreddit (with RES) or mobile users (presumably the majority of traffic). Tangent rant: giving your sub some character with a custom banner is ok, but the ability to hide or change basic UI like the logout button or voting buttons is a huge flaw in the design of reddit.
