Yeah, probably best not to be too concerned about imaginary internet points.

  It's not so much the internet points as it is your own point that you're trying to make being made invisible. To not care about that is to not care about your own opinions, which is a tough ask for most people. I don't have a better solution than the current downvoting situation, but it's a fact that what it hinges upon is equal parts intelligent moderation and fickle pettiness.

Lots of downvotes can mean your opinions have no merit, but it can also mean a small number of people disagree with you, or that you went off-topic, or didn’t express your opinion persuasively.
