Karma points are both a blessing and a curse. They are good as a form of gate-keeping but bad because I too have found myself deciding not to post a comment in case it got down-voted to oblivion. In fact I debated whether or not to post this comment for those same reasons.
I try to take down voted comments on the chin (and one of mine at -4 was absolutely warranted) but at other times it can be dis-heartening to see a comment being down-voted for no apparent reason.
I guess the answer is to not be too vain / overlly bothered about my Karma points but just as a highly upvoted comment feed the reward centres so do down votes in a whole different way.
Oh, and responsible and thoughtful use of down-voting rights please.
- Chris2048 6y agoI hate it when I get downvoted to for asking a question, usually when someone posts a vague or unsubstantiated comment. It's one thing to downvote an opinion, but downvoting anyone who questions an opinion, or clarification?!
- hackerfromthefu 6y agoI kind of think about it like the karma attained buys you the ability to occasionally say something that wrests the narrative back from the crowdmind a bit .. at least until it disappears due to the downvote pileon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
