People will disagree, and some will downvote as a result. It's all meaningless internet points anyway, so why does it matter so much?
- sachdevap 7y agoIt actually does matter to visibility of comments when you're trying to engage in discussions. If you'll read my comment, I'm not really craving internet points in anyway. Downvoting for disagreement is just a poor way of having a discussion. In the comment that was downvoted, there was no name-calling, nothing uncivil. A lot of subreddits, surprisingly unlike HN, do actually discourage downvoting. And if I was craving internet points I'd probably not comment about voting cause clearly that's unpopular too. My arguments notwithstanding, I don't intend to comment on voting again.
