I should have included the following characters "Edit:"...I was downvoted multiple times before I even mentioned brigading. That was a post-hoc edit after I'd been downvoted multiple times, I think I was at -2 within 1-2 minutes. HN commenters simply downvote things they disagree with, even if it pushes the narrative further and promotes more thought. IMO, downvotes should be reserved for low-effort wastes of space comments, not dissenting viewpoints.
