    It’s that momentum. Once you start going negative, you get pile driven even lower

      Only if you are really stupid or controversial. In a popular thread you can turn the votes around with subsequent posts or a clarifying edit.

        I once asked a question, everyone thought I made a bad joke, down voted, I edited it to include that it was genuine curiosity, got down voted even harder and called stupid, my noddle still doesn’t compute the situation.

        Sometimes you start with the person you replied to down voting you because they think you disagreed with them, then others read your comment and up vote it

        Nope. That’s rare. It happens here more often than on reddit but it’s still rare. If you’re positive karma, most folk who don’t agree with you will just pass by or answer. If you are negative, straight to downvote it is.

    A negative downvote is an upvote :v

      Reminds me of a poster that said “!False is funny, because it is true”

    That one poster brave enough to speak and defend you and single handedly turns the tide.

      Or even better, when they call out the loonies too and go down with you like the violin Titanic scene

    Wouldn’t one downvote plus one upvote be 1 again

    I completely forgot Dave Chappelle is in that movie until recently.

    Who cares about down votes? I’d care if I didn’t express my view properly, but sometimes people just disagree
