Almost every damn post has a thumbs down. Somebody could ask a honest question or say something with no disrespect in the least and there will be thumbs down. It’s a stupid feature because I don’t think it’s giving everyone a fair shot at reading everyone’s posts, people just scroll down until they see either a bunch of thumbs up or a bunch of thumbs down and read that. And if there were a bunch of thumbs down on a specific post, that person who wrote that is immediately made out to be an idiot/hater... It really does sway peoples opinions Just like the stupid emoji’s on Facebook. I already know I’ll get 52 dislikes on this and I couldn’t care less, I just think the feature is stupid and I’m sure there are some on here that agree. People wouldn’t dare give guys like GuyB a thumbs down but Ddavis could have just cured cancer and there’d still be 500 ??
Just think it’s not fair

I guess I'm a nob. Smile The OP had to know when he posted this will likely break the all time thumbs down record.

"I already know I’ll get 52 dislikes on this and I couldn’t care less"

Starts thread about how he hates the feature.

Makes sense.

I'd be curious to know if it's made the admins work easier.

IE, has the introduction of the thumbs down reduced the number of direct confrontations across the board because people can passively disagree?

Its just so much easier to hit the thumbs down button than it is to type "eat a bag of dicks" and Devin Davis deserves every thumbs down he gets Wink and life is not fair snowflake.

I was going to give you a thumbs down just because, but then I noticed the proper use of "couldn't care less" so I decided to give you a thumbs up instead!

It would be cooler if the names of the users who hit the thumbs down was published the same as the thumbs up.

I saw how long the post was and just gave a thumbs down because of that. Anything more than a short paragraph gets a thumbs down. Im just about to give mine a thumbs down.

It doesn’t really bother me that I get a thumbs down, but I’ve seen perfectly decent posts get a thumbs down for no apparent reason.

Heck since people are so thumbs down crazy I just gave every post in this thread a thumbs down ?

Could be like Youtube where they have a physical thumbs down button, but political correctness has it disabled so it does no even work and you're only allowed to thumbs up..
