What makes a man turn neutral?

Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

I don't know why spezzit removed the ability to see visible downvotes. It was an instructive part of the core experience for many years. Today, if you see a comment at -5 you think people must hate it, but in the old days that comment would show up as say 50 / 55 and it would be clear it was a controversial comment rather than wholly reviled. Removing downvotes, removes contextual nuance of the group reaction, which accelerates more downvoting leading to groupthink rather than conversations.

I agree, but on reddit you could still turn on the controversial dagger to see which comments had a fair amount of up and down votes.
