Very well said. We seriously need more education on the use of downvotes and what they actually mean. “Unjustified” downvotes and how to respond included.

I agree with whatsup, it seems many are also confusing the current discussion. A UI change has nothing to do with what downvotes do or how they work, just how they are displayed on the front end 🙂

I say we need more brightly colored, flashing, informative pop ups 😜
