>Implement a downvote system on Youtube/Twitter/Facebook etc.
>Downvoting nullifies your view for the poster
What do you guys think? I can not find a flaw in this design.
Like to make companies implement this system when someone downvotes a post 100% of the view's ad revenue goes to the company and not the poster.

The problem is they don't want to deal with ragebait, social media is like a vegas casino they let you smoke/drink/eat inside and try everything they can to stop you being able to leave so you can't get some fresh air and think about what you're actually doing.
Ragebait gets people engaging, it gets people posting and sharing and engaging and looking at adverts etc. They don't care that it whittles people down into wretched anxious husks of people that fly off the handle about everything, they love that actually. They don't care that all online discourse has been poisoned by eternally angry people always trying to bait each other, its part of the plan.

Ragebait is important for war propaganda.
You can play people like a fiddle. You can move their attention to subject A if subject B doesn't go to your liking. You can punish them and throw shit at them to then offer them the olive branch (usually a common enemy).
Twitter was the ultimate propaganda distributor for both Ukraine (Putin ended CoViD) and now Iran.
When the attempted color revolution happened in january, twitter swiftly [shadow] banned any account that was against the pushed narrative of le epic democratic revolution.
The whole platform was full with propaganda lies that were so ridiculous that it was a parallel universe far detached from reality, still dreaming about le epic coup while all was already over on the ground and failed.
They don't care much about revenue. Those big tech platforms survive for decades without making profit. They do care about influence and propaganda.
