Honestly, after "Huzzah!! Yesss! Sing it loud." I simply stopped reading, as I expected a snarky and sarcastic comment to follow. It's an extremely non-neutral way to start a comment, and while that's not inherently bad, in a medium like this, where it's hard to tell the intentionality of a commenter, it forces people to figure out what are you trying to do here, and that's very draining. If we had to do this for every comment in a thread, many of us would simply skip the comments. I bet most people that downvoted you simply didn't completely read your comment and were annoyed by your tone, even if they misinterpreted it. I don't think it's wrong expressing yourself differently, but being in a minority makes you less fit for any medium that expects a certain zen.
If you started this with a more neutral "I loved this!", that would serve as a warning for "passionate, high energy comment incoming", and people would know to skip if they weren't looking for that. Simply, your signals are too confusing in this context.
Edit: wow, rereading this it sounds quite harsh, almost as if I was making a moral judgement here. Not my intention at all, I was just trying to add some perspective.
