When should you use it? If the comment is not valid? If you do not agree with it? If the horribility of the righting is two mcuh?

It totally depends in you. I myself never downvote anybody. If I feel like, they are wrong or I have a different perspective regarding the matter, I comment.

Yeah I'm similar to Spook, I don't downvote unless what has been said is unacceptable or an attack on somebody with no reasoning behind it. I don't get involved unless it seems necessary.
However, I think the overall purpose of the downvote is just to show that majority of people disagree with what that person has said, I think it's often overused though.

Yeah, I'm a jerk and I agree with Spook and Paris. Even I don't downvote. I either just move on or type something that has no useful value but continues the conversation.

Generally people who downvote are the trolls or salty users and guests. Apart from that, every one comments to show their disagreement.

Hmm, I do downvote but it's only when it's too small to comment about and it has likes already (and it's when the comment is wrong or really misunderstands the post)

I downvote comments when they're rude, unnecessary, incorrect, or I disagree. The votes on a comment are a quick way to see how people reacted to what was said, much like facial expressions would be used in a face-to-face conversation. Sometimes I'll comment why I disagree, sometimes someone else has already stated my view so I use the votes to show my support, and sometimes I just don't have time to write a comment. You can use the voting system however you like, this is just how I conceptualise it.

I usually just downvote if it’s a political post or something that’s just straight up offensive. I always follow it up with a rationalisation comment on political posts because I can’t keep my mouth shut.

The downvote function is implemented in other meme sites for downvoting just posts so that way admins can take a look if it has too much downvotes and make a choice to delete it. For seome reason Zeus doesnt do that, so hmmmmmmmmm
