MODERATORS
disclaimer; i'm on an instance that doesn't have downvotes. even if i wasn't, though, the only time i ever really downvoted was for obvious troll content (and even then i really only did that to help the mods while i reported it).
i use upvotes mostly as a "hey op did a good job here so kudos (pretty much just use it the same way i use kudos in ao3). i don't really bother with downvoting - whether it's here, or on youtube, as i don't see a point. if i don't like something, i'm just not going to watch it; no point in going out of my way to let someone else know i don't like the thing they did.
