Similar to how YouTube collectively punsihed users for downvoting videos by getting rid of public downvote counts.

This is a complete different problem. The theory in the case of youtube was that the collective downvoting was in someways spurred by being able to see the total. They didn't remove the ability to downvote, just the reward for doing so. Users are not penalized for downvoting.

In the case of steam users are negatively impacted by a moderation decision.

While I respect the contrast you're highlighting I disagree that they're therefore fundamentally different. In both cases its a form of social coercion to shape user behaviour to misrepresent the collective sentiment.

Not sure why you're getting greyed out, you're right. Lot of admin overreach on YouTube.

Right, but unrelated to this issue. One is about feature removal while the other is about censorship, intimidation, and lies.

I didn't downvote, though.

Because it isn’t similar to this case at all.
