Now you’re conflating quality with popularity.

A popularity metric is still handy since there is no objective quality metric.

Nobody needs to vote, but if most people do vote, makes it easier for everyone to find good content.

You can still thumb down YouTube videos but may need a better client or browser plugin.

Reddit hiding vote totals was the first sign it’s heading to shit.

I get why you want to add the option, but why are you proposing to change everyone’s settings by changing the default on something almost nobody changes?

If we’re giving advice to new users, they should be advised to find a more tolerant instance.
