>>301361>I don't see why it matters whether sage is a downvote or notBecause newfags start to think it is a downvote and then they start replying to blatant troll threads just to say "sage", or complain when someone sages a good thread because they think it's a downvote when it isn't.
And really, what's the fucking point? If you want to voice your disapproval of a thread so badly, there are a million ways to do it. Call OP a faggot. Tell him his thread is shit. Post dubsguy. You literally don't need downvote-sage unless you're trying too hard to fit in by being a le epic memer.
Multiple disadvantages outweighs literally zero advantages. There is no point to having visible sage. None. Zip. Zero. Nada. No benefit whatsofuckingever.
