I sometimes post news articles that examine possible problems in society. Some may agree with the author, some may disagree. I often see these posts being downvoted if many disagree with the author.
Why do you downvote the post instead of commenting to express your disagreement?
As far as I understand, the idea is to upvote the post to spur conversation and comment to express your agreement or disagreement. Or did I misunderstand something?
unexpected awwwww!
you’re compensating for that automatic single downvote that ~50% of all posts and comments seem to get ;-)
I mean, 100% of posts get an automatic upvote because they all start at 1 instead of zero!
