I wholeheartedly disagree. Downvotes are my favorite part of this kind of comment system. I know that, per the rules, "downvotes aren't for disagreement", but most people don't respect that and I think it's asinine. Both kinds of votes are a valuable way of contributing to a discussion without having to spend the time and effort to write a comment.

Except for the fact that downvotes hide those comments. So all you are doing is creating an echo chamber where everyone agrees or gets removed from discourse.

Yeah, comment hiding was one of the worst changes Reddit ever made, that came years after already knowing that that part of the etiquette doesn't work though and they did that stupid change anyway.

I agree with your sentiment, that's what they should be, but time and time again we saw that it is not how they are used, downvotes mostly serve to mark disagreement , doesn't matter that you provide interesting discussion, if people disagree then the comment gets downvotes to oblivion. And the platform turns into an echo chamber where only one opinion can ever exist.
