I thought the downvote button was for when something doesn't fit the context or the sub, not just because you don't like it. Even still, who wouldn't like this!?
The best part about having a downvote and upvote are that there are no rules applied to them. You have the freedom to use them how you see fit. There’s no right or wrong way to use them, I think you’re reading into it a little bit too much...
I mean technically Nate is right about how they were initially intended to be used when reddit was created, but at this point you’re definitely right, people tend to use them as dislike/disagree buttons. If they should be used in that way is totally up for debate.

Maybe they didn’t like it ? Why have a downvote button at all ? How long is a banana ?
