This is fairly nonsensical. Downvotes are supposed to let you know you've made a mistake, not to make you feel bad. If you can't see the downvotes, you can't fix the mistake, so you'll get more. Eventually you'll get too many downvotes on too many questions and [won't be able to ask at all](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/56817/can-we-prevent-some-of-the-low-quality-questions-from-entering-our-system/60294#60294) -- you'll probably notice then, but it'll be extremely difficult to fix at that point This is equivalent to you inventing a way to not feel pain anymore, and proclaiming that you're now immortal
