Downvotes basically allows for dogpiling and allows stupid people to circlejerk

Upvotes can be used to dogpile misinformation and also to circle jerk. I've always felt this argument against down votes is weak, at best. Might as well get rid of voting entirely.

And so can comments. Better remove all of them to protect the public from excessive disapproval or approval.
