Did anyone else have the experience that two downvotes on Reddit hurt more than the good feeling from getting100 upvotes? Or was that just me?

      I would also add there’s some inherent inertial component to upvotes. A submission that gets a few upvotes quickly will easily get more upvotes over time because it’s more likely to float into visibility by other people, ultimately regardless of veracity.

      As the saying goes, everything on the news is supposedly 100% true until it is about a subject matter one is an expert one.
