There is nothing to suggest it was downvoted because of disagreement. We have no idea why it was downvoted. But the most likely explanation is that a user with poor dexterity accidentally pressed the button. There is no logical reason for why someone would purposefully exert the effort to press a button that doesn't do anything other than maybe change the font color. And one will employ a once and done CSS override to change the color if they really don't like the default choice for some reason.

- 9rx 1y ago> It had multiple downvotes Well, the HN has been around for quite some time now and the user base is getting older. Dexterity doesn't get better in old age. > I would prefer to discuss the economic points raised. Go nuts! Nothing stopping you but yourself.
