I've been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it's actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I'm glad we have that here.

It was a scandal when it disappeared from YouTube, but I didn't realize it was missing from Reddit too for much longer!

at least Reddit showed the upvote - downvote balance, YouTube only shows upvotes, which is a completely useless number.

They should at least have a viewed to upvote ratio.

YT doesn't want your poor little feelings to be hurt.
