Sorry I don't understand the severe downvote? I was referring to all the "under the table" things that happened with Cambridge Analytica and similar stories, that will surface in the next few weeks/months. Hence the crumbing house of cards...
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> I don't understand the severe downvote? The analogy adds nothing new nor interesting to the discussion. It's a content-free observation.
- viyu 8y agoI see. I'm new here and I thought others might relate to what I said. Thanks anyway.
- reitanqild 8y agoFurthermore complaining about being downvoted is against the guidelines. Not saying you complained but some people seems to use that as an excuse for downvoting every metaquestion that touches into these stupid markers of approval/appreciation or whatever it signals : )
- pmlnr 8y agoComplaining != asking for clarification. Sometimes the reason for downvotes is not obvious.
- viyu 8y agoAgreed. I'm at -7 and I didn't do anything to deserve this. It's quite rude and unfriendly. But it clearly makes some people feel good to have the power to do that, certainly because they can't do it IRL. Poor sapiens.
- smsm42 8y agoI understand how this can be frustrating, but it is not true that you didn't do anything to deserve this. You published several comments with high noise-to-content ration (and yes, complaining about downvotes is also noise). You got downvotes for that. Take them, move on and do better next time. It's just bits on some server, and they mean nothing except showing you how to improve your participation on the site.
