It always felt so satisfying voting down the comments from the racists, pedophiles, and trolls on youtube, but at some point a few years ago Google decided to make everything safe and cushy for everyone and now the downvote button is a placebo, sort of like the 'door close' button on most elevators. You can press it but it does nothing. If you upvote the effect is immediate--your vote is added and you see it added right away. If you downvote nothing happens. Presumably your vote is saved and subtracted from the next upvote (meaning no comment can ever go below a zero rating), or maybe it does nothing. It's hard to tell. I've noticed other forums that have a voting system like Disqus or Kinja do a similar thing. Only having positive votes is one of those 'facebook innovations' that has made the experience of the internet worse all around. IMO, it's undemocratic. That's the nice thing about this forum. See this lovely loving thread I made? You can vote 1 all you like. That's called FREEDOM.

The real question is, why are you reading or participating in the YouTube comments.

When a clearly insane person makes a video that you know would be roundly condemned by anyone who watches it, but they go through the trouble of disabling comments: You downvote that poo poo as hard as possible.
