That’s more how than why. I also want to know why people downvote things a lot of the time. I’m not perfect at always commenting productively but I really try, and it miffs me when I add something I think has value and see it downvoted without a comment explaining why. Sometimes it’s a topic under debate and I’m trying to better just accept that people are disagreeing without using their words. Sometimes though it’s a technical topic with no apparent disagreement and I share some insight about the topic, and just wonder why anyone thought “nope it’s bad you shared that knowledge”.
