Currently, you see the dislikes on every post. Users not interested in seeing that information and want a net score for the post should have the option to do that, just like in other apps.

    I do not know why, but I care. I want my comments to be liked, I take it to heart and get irritated when they are disliked. When I post a tip, I want it to be helpful to others. If it wasn’t helpful, I want to know why. A downvote doesn’t help.

    For me, this level of anxiety spans more than internet points, I get bothered by many things on social media. That’s why I prefer social networks that are geared more towards anonymity.

    Do I have issues to sort out? Yes, for sure. But until I do that, I find a net score to be more productive for me than seeing the number of dislikes next to the number of likes.
