I think the 'hide' button should be used more by those who don't wish to see a comment or submission.

I would like to see the statistics of how many 'downvotes' are used on a daily basis in 2024 compared with previous years, as I have a suspicion that it is just being used at the detriment of good conversation (heated or otherwise). And if this is the case, just remove the feature if it no longer works like it used to.

Edit: There we go with people downvoting. Couple more and you can hide away my opinion (which has no place on HN, evidently).
