What made it so much worse was the removal of showing how many upvoted and downvoted each comment.
Now you just get -10 score, or whatever. There's a huge difference if you had 10 people downvote you vs 80 up and 90 down.
The idea was to demoralise people who get downvoted all the time into the negatives so that they would leave the sub/site and then groupthink set in.
Now you have no idea just how many people are engaging with your comments any more.
