I first upvote it, so more people see it and it gets more downvotes, then i revisit later and downvote, which then decreases by 2.

I’ll also down vote anyone using up votes as some kind of metric for their post/comment being inherently right/good

I’m the same! If the comment contains the word downvote in it, it’s a DV. I even downvote my own haha! It’s a silly little reminder to myself how little they matter
