Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and “Disagree” buttons, whether or not it was the intent.

    It wasn’t meant to be an agree/disagree button on Reddit either.

    It’s meant for upvoting posts that contribute to the topic/community and downvoting stuff that doesn’t, such as spam or trolling.

      People get emotional over a comment and click the downvote as it makes them feel empowered, that’s how it always ends up. Maybe just having upvotes only would work better.
