With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.Reiterating/refining #3904: I think the yellow "Criticism of" bubbles can and should be replaced by a graphical indication that is much easier on the eyes. The dropdown line can be made red if the comment it leads to is a criticism, and the bubble on the criticism can be eliminated. Reading the yellow bubble to get the idea # it is referring to, then searching the ideas above for the matching # is inelegant (even if it is usually the one right above).
The yellow bubbles link to the ideas they are criticizing, which can be handy.
The link could be put in a new tooltip, or something. Or kept as is, just without the yellow bubble, frankly.
Would avoid putting it in a tooltip. Best to keep it for accessibility. Communicating only with lines and colors is too little information.
That doesn’t mean the pill has to stay yellow. Too harsh.
Is it handy? I have yet to want to open the criticized idea in a new tab. I have only ever wanted to scroll up to see it, which is slightly irksome with the current yellow bubble hashtag-matching method. And when the criticized idea is clearly immediately above, the yellow bubbles serve no real purpose, only add visual clutter.

I do that on occasion and like being able to do it. Other users may, too.
