That's interesting. I wonder how that could be the case.
- Macha 6y agoWhile the treshold for downvoting has increased since 2009, the threshold hasn't increased to the same level that the number of active users (and therefore votes) have, so I would guess proportionally way more of the community has access to downvotes today than in 2009. Also, I think in those days you did see vote numbers, but you didn't see the big obvious greying out of downvoted comments that exists today.
