This is because an increasingly large percentage of the people here have to deal with the dissonance of having to make their living in an industry and business culture that depends on those kind of practices and consequently rewards and promotes them.
- hc91 7y agoPossibly. Also looks like (almost) all the critical comments towards this article get magically downvoted - seriously check it out. Legit question - what happens when your karma gets to zero? Do you get banned?
- bdefore 7y agoIt is against HN community guidelines to comment about comment voting because it adds nothing substantial to the discussion.
- seemslegit 7y ago> because it adds nothing substantial to the discussion. Substantial to whom ? Often people who downvote will prvoide additional information as to their reasoning which can be substantial or insubstantial like any other comment.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIf a downvoter didn't share their reasoning already, it's unlikely they will be prompted by a general "why is this getting downvoted?" comment. That's why site rules say you should not ask about downvotes.
- seemslegit 7y agoBlessed be the site rules.
- dang 7y agoCome now. You can't seriously be reading these threads and not seeing plenty of indignation about Zoom. Where by plenty I mean extreme abundance.
- seemslegit 7y agoAh, why is this thread hidden ?
- dang 7y agoWhich thread?

And bellow - doesn't show for me in the submission either when logged in or not, only in my comments urls.
