I use it because on the HN mobile site, it’s fairly easy to fat finger it. I’ve never used it legitimately. So chalk up at least one person who clicks it by accident.

I will note that is almost always why I downvote anything as well - the mobile UX encourages accidental clicks like that.

Make that two. I’ve never hit it deliberately, but constantly fat finger it.

I’ve a greasemonkey user script to hide it on desktop, but on mobile safari I’m all out of luck.

You might want to take a look at this Safari Extension for userscripts on iOS.
