Absolutely not. In many contexts of discussion, I view loss of fake internet points as a good thing. For example, hop in a time machine and go back to HN circa 2016 and start blathering about how SQLite is the ultimate, final database solution for 95% of technology products. Seeing that point total go backwards was very empowering to me at the time. Today, this is a textbook karma farming crop.
I also make a point to thoroughly review any comments that are dead/flagged/nearly-invisible for any controversy that is otherwise in the spirit of this community. I'll happily vouch for every one of those, even if there is some consequence to my account standing.

- jefftk 4y agoLink? A 2016 comment where you laid out the arguments for SQLite and were downvoted for it is something I'd find impressive.
- fragmede 4y agoHe must have done it on a different account. No results for bob1029 under https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1483315141&dateRange=custom&dateStart=1451692741&page=0&prefix=true&query=%20bob1029%20sqlite&sort=byPopularity&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1483315141&dateRange=custom&... and I'm not about to dig through the 9000 comments about sqlite in 2016.
- jefftk 4y agoSince that account only goes back to 2017 it would have to be, yes.

- pieter_mj 4y ago>Absolutely not. Downvoted. Just kidding, I can't downvote. I do care about karma, but only to reach the level at which you can downvote, only to subsequently prove the promise I made to myself to never downvote anyone on HN.
