The user can't see that their comment has dislikes, anything over 5 is bundled together, and it doesn't do anything like hide the comment if it's terrible enough. I'm just not sure if I'm missing something or just don't get it.

@XBontendo it helps us gather data on users and see who is causing trouble. It also can encourage people to simply leave a thumbs down, rather than leave an angry response.
@antdickens That's a pretty good explanation. Thanks!

I don't think most people use it for flagging "troublesome" posts, but for simply "disliking" a comment or expressing disapproval without feeling the need to justify or otherwise articulate one's opposition to another person's point of view.
I can't help but imagine that I have quite a lot of 5+ dislikes around here as I am hardly Mr. Popular Opinion. While I am curious about which of my comments may have been divisive, I think I would agonise a little too much over it, so perhaps I am better off left in the dark.
@Silly_G Same I'm sure. And I guess when I think about it I'd rather have secret dislikes than a barrage of angry replies in my inbox
