An option of casting a downvote is another feature of the proposed method, which allows voters an even wider scope to express their preferences by letting them designate a candidate they do not want to see elected. It is important to note that the idea of a downvote is not a novel concept.

In the method proposed herein, a downvote and an upvote have the same absolute weight (-1 or +1).

The intention was to recreate a community similar to the early days of Reddit. However, unlike Reddit where new users can immediately both upvote and downvote content, Hacker News does not allow users to downvote content until they have accumulated 501 "karma" points.

"Flagging" comments, likewise, is not permitted until a user has 30 karma points.

In itself, the availability of a downvote will probably result in a significantly higher rate of voter participation, especially in a climate of political polarization, public skepticism or disapproval of current political elite.

Since number of downvotes is strictly limited the results of large-scale experimental studies demonstrate that downvotes are not generally used in retaliatory manner. Moreover, overall on average 56.1% of voters in the experiments exercised the right of casting a downvote.

Hence the option of expressing a disapproval by casting a downvote with set forth limiting parameters did not results in increased polarization of electorate (voters in our experiments).

IAmA is based around posting "AMAs" (for "Ask Me Anything"), or similarly "AMAAs" (Ask Me Almost/Absolutely Anything) – prompts for others to ask questions about any topic. AMAs are open to all Reddit users, but interviewees require proof that they are who/what they claim to be. They use the site's comment system for both questions and answers; this process has been equated to an online press conference. Like the rest of Reddit, users can also upvote and downvote potential candidates - with the most favoured being more likely to receive an answer.

Together, the "Chimes" make up topic based discussions that can include links, videos, polls, and photos. An individual "chime" displays a headline, the first few sentences of a post, a piece of multimedia, a profile picture, interest tags and options for liking, commenting and sharing. Chime.in automatically organizes shared media into "Chimeline" streams based on the topics they discuss. The "Chimeline" and "Chimes" contain threaded comments that include a Reddit or Digg style up or downvote system for surfacing the best comments to the top of a chime.

Jelli shows were broadcast on KITS six nights a week. Listeners would select songs for a station via Jelli's website and mobile app. Users could upvote and downvote songs to determine the next song, and issue "Rocks" and "Sucks" votes for songs currently playing — with songs immediately stopped if they receive too many "Sucks" votes. Users could also be awarded "Rockets" and "Bombs" to move songs up and down on the app's charts. Jelli's success with KITS led to a further expansion of Jelli to other radio stations, and in October 2009, Jelli announced a syndication deal to distribute its programming throughout the United States through the Triton Media Group beginning in early 2010.

Ghostbusters received criticism from social media users following word of Feig's involvement and the all-female cast, which some felt was a "gimmick". On its first day of release, the first trailer for the film collected 12,000 "likes" and 13,800 "dislikes" from YouTube viewers which, according to David Griner of Ad Week made it "one of the most polarizing in recent memory".
