Imho the Thumbs up/Thumbs down rating is meaningless in its present form, just clutter and a waste of resources.

It’s the anonymity that’s the problem, unlike when a reply to a thread is endorsed by a poster typing +1 (nt), brief but efficient. Knowing the posters identity gives their +1 a certain validity that the thumbs up/down will never have.
