......................that just raises MORE questions!
I think there are some downvote bots here like there was on Reddit. Not sure what the point is, but I've seen some communities where every post starts at negative 1, and others where every comment seems to get a downvote. Not sure what the reasoning is. I think some people just hate the idea of other people being happy.
Some people have legitimately nothing better to do with their lives and enjoy bringing others down.
There was someone in a thread here once who said when he was young he had severe depression and anger issues, and said he used to do stuff like that. He said it literally was that he was so unhappy that he hated seeing other people happy. He was embarrassed about it now, but couldn't see past it at the time.
