    Their value lies in their meaning which is telling everyone how much something got upvoted or downvoted.

    Really, it’s a simple concept.

        In the same sense that a smile and a frown have no value, possibly. But that’s rather nihilist.

          When smiles and frowns can be manipulated via bots … I’ll agree… but until then, especially on instances that believe communism works, they’re beyond useless. Hell many instances disable downvotes so those people can’t downvote anyway.
