(Please forgive this slight vent/derail, but HN is becoming a strange place when I get downvoted for voicing my opinion in a honest and respectful way. Heck, I said absolutely nothing that can be construed as wrong. I'd love to know why it happened - different opinions? If so, add them to the discussion, don't be the silent guy getting away with downvoting other people's posts because they differ from your own point of view.) |

And now that nobody can see any numbers, they can't tell if you've gotten massively upvoted or not, either. In the past, I'm sure they'd have gone 'meh, no votes, don't worry about it' but now they can't/won't take that attitude simply because they don't know. So they downvote. It doesn't cost them anything and they feel better for having tried to silence an opinion or fact they don't like.
Now, I'll be downvoted for being off-topic, and that's a whole 'nother story.
