I guess I'll chime in and say that I, too, have noticed more downvotes when I wouldn't normally predict them. Unlike the other commenters, I'm not worried about it. It's just a sign of growth and HN going mainstream. The mods keep everyone on a tight leash, so I think the content will remain good. It is a bit frustrating to post something that feels high quality but people disagree. But that's the price you pay for not being perfect to everyone all the time. (You see? It's impossible.) So don't let it bug you.
