Downvotes are fine with me; I don't put much stock in Internet points. I'm not trying to be persuasive in my single-sentence internet quip; if people care to learn more, they can do their own research.

You’re engaging in discussion and the downvotes aren’t disagreement here. They’re a sign your comment wasn’t contributing much of value.

> downvotes aren’t disagreement here

While this may be the official intention, in practice it is not the case. Afaict, disagreement elicits downvotes the majority of the time.

What then do the upvotes signify?
