Downvotes are for when i believe the argument is in bad faith to begin with, or feel the other will be unreceptive to criticism, and i have better things to do than internet argument.
That’s not the point of downvotes. If you’re assuming people are downvoting you just to make you feel bad, you’re taking it way to personally.
Upvotes are funny too. I like what you posted, but can’t be bothered to articulate why. So I’m gonna click a button at you and hope it makes you feel good.

Tasty!
Itchy.
Bitchy.

I down voted your comment because it was terrible, don’t care if you feel bad or not.

I hide comment scores with ublock origin. They just prevent real discussion. I also default sort by new, though I wish there were a random.

I’m upvoting you in hopes that it all goes to your head, inflating your ego and eventually leading to your downfall.
See, you broke the rule - vote, don’t articulate. Never let 'em know your next move. /s
Yeah they’re agree/disagree buttons! I upagreed with your comment
