get’s [sic] a lot of downvotes by people who simply don’t like that particular post.

That's literally the point of the downvote system. To downvote posts you don't like, or you feel are out of place.

Additionally we are seeing posts with more downvotes than a community has subscribers, meaning people are downvoting content they don’t even want to see in the first place.

This seems to be the real issue you're trying to fight. It seems like only permitting downvotes on communities that the user has been a part of for greater than 1/2/7/30/pick-a-number days would be the proper solution. If people in a community are downvoting a post, then it means they don't think that post is worth sharing. No admin, moderator, community owner, etc. should be able to change that.

I am strongly against removing downvotes.

Underscores do not separate words when moving with ctrl+arrow key. Hypens are preferable, or periods, or spaces.

GN has made a section on this at the start of their HW News video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3byz3txpso

I don't see that already posted here. Of particular note is that Linus lied regarding the Billet Labs repayment agreement. Otherwise, I'll let Steve speak for himself.

It’s his job to say who should buy it.

No.

It's his job to provide accurate data, and possibly a recommendation for those wanting to know his opinion.

It's the consumer's job to look at the data in the review and determine whether or not to buy it.

You don't see GN failing to properly review a 4070 Ti because "nobody should buy this". They do the review properly and then say "nobody should buy this" after having given accurate data.

You don't get to skip doing your literal job just because you don't think the product is worth buying.
