Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.
Take my posts in [email protected] - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?
TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.
Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?
