    This is because downvotes are not used as they were meant. Reddit’s system was supposed to work like this:

    • You see something that you like/agree on -> you upvote
    • You see something you don’t agree on -> Don’t vote
    • You see something harmful for the community/that breaks the rules/is toxic/you got the point -> you down vote

    This system wasn’t understood by the users and so it became the mess we know today
