>why should it have some cost different than the cost of 'promoting' something when you upvote
If this is a blocker, show both! My recommendation to add the tiniest bit of friction only to the anonymous negative was an attempt to reflect existing site guidelines. My apologies if terminology is a distraction; I did add "censuring" as a better word.
>mods' argument that meta is bad for actual conversation
Up/down votes are currently only public on the receiver's side, and this meta gamification powers HN. Would revealing the other side of the equation deter abuse of anonymous control (with an acceptable level of side effects)? All I can answer for sure is that intervention for downvote abuse (if any) is behind-the-scenes for now.
[I assume] the pool of eligible downvoters continues to grow; maybe when the time comes the next step will be another moderator rather than crowdsourcing -- the precedent of hiding individual comment scores seems relevant.
But it did drift into discussing a more offensive AI than passive monitoring done today.
It's perfectly fine to disagree with this belief; HN itself does!
[Edited]
As things function now, downvotes are for all intents and purposes anonymous.
In my ignorance I'm not really aware of the landscape for these types of technologies; does anyone have time to share a brief summary or link to further info?

If you like starting companies, there's no shame in focusing on that. Sell & repeat until success is obvious enough to warrant sticking with it!
(Hope you see this!)

AFAIK there is no equivalent Dropbox incident, though they were forced to clarify their marketing in 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Dropbox#May_2011_...
I'm no expert but IIRC that's not possible with any test right now.
"Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" has been recommended ancedata-ly to me.
