    10k 🔺 100k 🔻
    10k 🔺 0🔻

    You forgot that it often looks like:

    -90k🔻

    In some cases I might prefer the 10k/-100k one to be honest.

      Yes, but then these…

      15k🔺 16k🔻 81 🔺1,096🔻

      …both sum to -1k🔻, when the ratios are wildly different. If you really wanted to change the system, I would submit for consideration total votes and down:up ratio %:

      31k 🔥 48% ⚖️ 1.2k 🔥 0% ⚖️

      In fact, you could easily do that at the client level if you wanted. I’d try it out for sure, I know I’ve seen it elsewhere.
