I disagree, but I'm not hitting the downvote button. In my opinion, the downvote button is handy when you want to see what people dislike. (and I like your position on this)

But when it comes to online discussion, I want to discuss. Hence you're reading this. It's a lot more fun, insightful and useful to a forum to actually talk rather than vote in my opinion.

I feel a well voted thread sorts opinions on any topic from popular to unpopular. Gives people reading an additional dimension to put ideas that exists outside their subjective. And doesnt effect you ability to engage in discussion. Would be nice if u could search by contraversial tho.

Then of course u have the mathematical argument of votes that defaukt u have +1, -1, 0 (neutral) if u remove downvotes u essentialy have +1/2, -1/2 with no neutral forcing you to take a position. This is because a post without downvotes is not sorted against posts with downvotes but only other posts without.

I don't think pushing popularity to the top or bottom is a great way to promote nuance. It's nice for cat pictures, but I don't think it's helpful for discussion
