    Never really looked at it from that angle, almost seems a decent argument for removing visible downvotes all together. Should I not be as pissed at YT as I think I should be?

      Instead, hiding the downvotes makes troll comments look reasonable and even popular as they brigade a community to upvote their narrative. The average user has no way to combat or discourage it.
