Can you show us examples of this echo chamber in action?
In my experience, low-quality posts and comments get downvoted, high- (or even okay-) quality posts and comments get upvoted.
Also, why is there all of this focus on votes? Don't get worked up over magic internet points that people give/take without a second thought.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoMy particular issue with extreme downvoting, is it seems (at least from my observation) to be tied to rate-limiting your ability to comment on posts. I was unable to comment on this thread, for example, for a fairly decent period of time. The other contention is that it sucks to be downvoted (a system I dislike in general) while being unable to downvote comments you believe are low quality yourself. The actual magic internet points, as you say, aren't really a big deal.
