I’ve occasionally noticed ordinary comments with zero upvotes to them. Yet, our own comments are upvoted automatically whenever we make them. So for comments to have zero upvotes, either something I don’t know about is happening, or there are people who downvote their own contributions.
I can’t help but wonder, why? It seems like extra effort without a clear reason.
I can’t remember which ones exactly; but I know I’ve seen a few people mention apps that don’t upvote by default.
I don’t think it’s a conscious effort to remove the automatic upvote.
Though I have on rare occasion realized I said something stupid and just downvoted my post/comment instead of outright deleting it. Maybe someone will learn something from my stupidity.
