I've noticed the same thing on reddit for as long as I can remember. Obscure comments that are polite, useful, and avoid controversial topics routinely get down to 0 or -1 points.
I know this is all rather meaningless, but something about it is very upsetting to me and I always upvote such comments.
On that note, I like the Stack Overflow model: you have to pay reputation to downvote.
- brudgers 11y agoStackOverflow actively deletes content and does so without mercy. That's a more important part of the utility of its model than the mechanics of downvotes. And flagging costs nothing except a daily flag, and the reward for good flags is more flags.
