Ding ding ding!
You basically can't allow people to give negative feedback for a thing and have that feedback mean anything (ie affect recommendations for anyone but you or show it to other users) without insincere feedback being used to hurt the reviewee.
There are ways to counter this, the easiest is to not show negative reviews but count them positively, a dislike actually boosts them just like a positive review would. Not really recommended due to promoting rage bait but brigading would stop working.
- cellularmitosis 3y agoCounting them positively results in the problems which tiktok is currently facing with “rage bait” content.
- Spivak 3y agoThat would be the other consequences, yes. So can't say I recommend it.

The downvotes should be for tailoring feeds, whether personal, or the aggregate feeds of people with similar interests and like/dislike votes. Any specific criticism can be saved for the comments.
- Zak 3y agoYou also can't allow people to give positive feedback without insincere feedback being used to artificially promote things. If you're going to have a feedback system, you need some manner of checks and balances on it to limit insincere feedback.
