Yeah there are multiple ways. Nevertheless it's public, so people can vote on stuff and reply when the response is bullshit. That's why I think visible downvotes are very important. If you have an answer botted to be on spot one of the replies but it has like 200% the downvotes, it's possible that there's something fishy going on and one can evaluate. That's not possible if you can't see this addition info and only the sum of votes.
This is an excellent argument for showing downvotes!
