When you see something has too much up or down votes, does this change your point of view? Also how many people hides votes and etc?
There are only two things I think about when it comes to vote count:
-
if I make a joke, and it’s not being replied to but being downvoted I want to know if people understood the joke or if the joke was just not funny.
-
If I see a question being asked that doesn’t appear to be in bad faith being downvoted, and not answered, it pisses me off.

Yes. Downvotes allow a well educated community to bury misinformation
