Weird question, but here it is...

 

 

 

Why are "likes" or "upvotes" anonymous to anyone but the person that posted the comment?

Good question. The reasoning is that the individual should read and assert the post based on content and author, not on who else voted. This tends to reduce mob mentality in my view.
