In what sense are you being honest with yourself if you can't put yourself in an objective enough frame of mind to see where the down-votes come from?

There’s no feedback.

I truly wouldn’t post something if I didn’t feel it was relevant so constructive feedback (as per HN guidelines) is much more useful than silent downvotes.

The downvote is feedback. It's feedback that other people don't find your post relevant. You can constructively review how you expect other people to find it relevant and imagine the reasons why they wouldn't.
