VIP’s can see downvotes now on their own posts

I think it will make things worse. Something doesn't seem right about having to pay to see who your haters are. Could be this was the plan all along ? Make more money by encourageing people to buy vip?

If I had any tendency to downvote content I find disgusting enough to do that, I would not mind at all who could see that I did. On the last similar site I joined and participated on, downvotes were anonymous for quite a while. When the administrators of that site presented their consideration of allowing members to see who downvoted their content, there was a great uproar from a lot users...about "betrayal" and such. Many 'members' expressing outrage, had rarely or seldom seen usernames.

When the current and past downvotes did become no longer "anonymous", it was clear to see to why some were outraged at the idea. It was illuminating to see and know how very petty they were...downvoting songs and other innocuous comments and replies, just for spite.

I just saw this when I reacted to a post today. I’m not surprised that they made it a VIP feature, but it does defeat what the admins stated their intention for the feature was in the first place.

I’ve only ever given one DV, and that was on a post asking for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even better, I'll focus on downvoting those who have VIP the most 😏

I’ve only ever downvoted for comedic effect
This is just encouraging me😌

I’ll downvote a post I find reprehensible. I don’t care, in fact I’d prefer to have someone know it’s me.

I don't down vote. If I'm not a fan of something posted I just move along. There are other things I can spend my time on. To each their own in my opinion.

Too bad you can't see the past downvotes lol 😝

So that's weird. They put in this feature and publicize that it'll be anonymous. Now suddenly VIPs can see them, but I don't remember seeing an announcement on this. It almost seems they're looking to create conflict.

I don't use it often 🤭
😈

Are you serious?

Guess I'll never know now who downvoted the Youtube video I posted the other day of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles intro. 😅

Maybe a badge for your downvotes so we know how many have.

I would be proud of my zero badge.

Yes, Andrew announced this change was coming a week or so ago. I think it's a good move since they're keeping it. I've only used it 2 or 3 times and the person(s) knew it was me,🧐that's the way it should be.

I think the downvote thing should be a reaction just like any other of them. If I don't like something and I use it, then I'll tell you why.

I don't see the big deal why it has so much controversy behind it.

The cake is a lie.

There was already a way to see who your most persistent downvoter was.

And it was by being your own most persistent downvoter.

You can then see it visible as the reaction left in your own thread.

And that was without VIP.

Bottom of line, if you're self-hater, you get the same priviliges since forever

I have very rarely downvoted in any case.

I am glad you can now see anyone who downvotes you, and take appropriate measures 👹

I never do. But knowing that still doesn't convince me to pay for that which is free.

Ive never used it, i usually jist say what needs to be said, or dont say anything.

Great marketing move. They'll sell more VIP memberships.

Yes. I have only done it once.

I seldom down vote. I just tell people off in the comments.

Lol. Watch people stop downvoting. In the end, people just want to be liked and don't want to be blocked.

I wish I could see who downvoted my stuff from before today

I do not use nor care about the DV button. I do not hide behind blocking, reporting, DV, or any of that.

GREAT! who wants to cross me now

No no.. i will never downvote ever..no way 😏😂🤣🤣🤣.🤭...lol just teasing,i still think it needs scrapping

I will still downvote. I don’t care that people know.

I will still but I do it rarely and mostly on creeps posts or stuff I dislike.
I'm sure many will stop though

I never downvote, so it doesn't matter to me.

But yeah, Very Insecure Persons would need that feature. 😂 😂 😂

I don't know, still on the fence about that

My haters use downvotes when my fans & friends mention about me on their posts lol

I’m glad they can see it, it won’t keep me from downvoting.

Forgive me on this, but to me it just appears to be a tool to be used for people to become catty. But if the website benefits from it in some way, well, good job.

Ruht ro, I'm feeling the urge to DV, I better start hiding posts instead, lmbo!

Someone downvoted your post though, lol.

I usually just downvote ironically anyway. Yes that was me 😌

You can only see the ones from May 27th on. Or at least on my post that’s all it said.

I never did use it. Does it start today because I've had a couple lately.

I never downvote. I will report the post instead since that’s what they’re doing to me.

As VIP you can see who doesn’t have VIP on profile visits.

I already know who my down voters are. It's the usual folk on the usual topics.

I don't usually downvote anyway and I rarely get downvoted myself.
