I can’t say I never downvote anyone but I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes every response but I generally shy away from downvoting even things I dislike. I don’t want to fall into an echo chamber where all I see are only the things I agree with.
according to who? you?
the vast majority of people disagree with you, and their votes count just as much as yours. they prefer the echo chamber.
