    Don’t worry about it, some people just throw downvotes around everywhere. You could make the least divisive post possible that everyone universally could agree is correct and still get a downvote, so it’s best to just ignore it. This is especially true on news communities, infamously the preferred hunting grounds of many a troll.

        Fair enough, but it’s just so weird.

        Like what is that? Just some automated system response, making sure there’s always at least one downvote on anyone’s comment?

        I’m being facetious, but you get my point. It’s just so out of left field, it just makes you wonder.

      Thanks for replying. I’m honestly not worried about it, just really curious. I like to know if there’s something missing in my perception of the comment I made, basically.
