Here I am wondering why there is still a downvote button in the YouTube comments... it does nothing!
The same reason that a lot of crosswalks have fake buttons. So you feel like you have control.
While simultaneously undermining your sense of trust in the world
and why elevators have non functioning close buttons
Some elevators.
All the ones near me have fully functional close buttons.
Actually it's worse than nothing. Youtube promotes comments based on engagement, so while only an upvote increases the tally, voting at all still makes it more visible.
