Is everyone getting downvoted for no apparent reason recently or is it just me?

I've always been downvoted. Popularity seems to exist even here, feelsbadman

Nah, I've definitely noticed it, too. I've gone to posts that someone has literally downvoted every single comment on, regardless of content. Tbh at first I thought someone was taking exception either to my posts, or to posts where people have conversations, but if it's happening with you too, I think some downtrodden slug Muppet with nothing better to do is literally going through the site and downvoting any random comment chain that catches their fancy

@thethirdi I genuinely can't remember seeing any of your comments. Your name entertains me, though, so if it's popularity you get points in that department

Not sure how other people operate but I downvote if you comment something offensive, something irrelevant to the post, something I disagree with, or something banal on a very old post. You can't tell if it was one person or dozens downvoting you, but I doubt there's a horde of people (guests or otherwise) downvoting comments for no reason.

I rarely downvote at all. I think that whatever this person posted is their perception which can be different from mine but if there is something very offensive, yes I do it.

I tend to hold my down ores in reserve as well unless I think what has been said is truly asinine, offensive, or ignorant
