Hey Elon, wouldn't it be better for us all to not only show the likes but show the dislikes too? Even on your account.

He has a point though. Just think of Reddit and Lemmy where people mindlessly hive-mind vote some posts. When you see something massively upvoted, you tend to upvote (immediately). Same goes for downvotes. In contrary, if the votes do no show, you only vote when you actually mean it.
