Reddit and HN allows a great way to express your disapproval. I don't believe people change their opinions because of it. They either decide to shut up about their opinions which they know will attract downvotes or they move on.
I employ each tactic on HN and reddit respectively.

I know that I personally have changed my opinion because of downvotes and discussion on HN. I can't say that about every single person who uses HN, but it's far better than what I've seen on Tumblr.
Tumblr is mathematically biased to prevent feedback from the outside. People who use it rarely change their opinions because of this.
