    Wholeheartedly disagree

    Both with what a downvote means (closer to the other commenter) and to the importance of UI elements

    none of it is arbitrary

    Those “arbitrary” elements are very intentional

    It’s intentional how many clicks it takes you to post, to agree, to disagree, to move on, etc.

    It’s intentional that infinite scrolling takes no effort and happens automatically, while diving deeper into the conversation takes effort

    All of those are decisions and as soon as those decisions are motivated more by money than by benefiting the person using it, it becomes cancerous to the values of free speech and open expression.
