    I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

      It’s why I’m still furious about YouTube removing the dislike count. That single decision has probably led to lots more people getting scammed–and YouTube not getting my premium dollars I would’ve otherwise gave.
