Love posting something like a tip for making running an old game easier on Reddit and the only engagement I get being some twats downvoting the post for no reason :angery:

The idea of giving posts a thumbs up or a thumbs down elevating the quality of discussions is such a :so-true: brained concept anyway

    Reddit is astroturfed to hell with paid services to promote posts with bot upvotes but also bot downvotes to suppress the competition to the promoted post. The algorithm gives major weight to the initial votes so just a couple of early downvotes can pretty much kill the potential of a post to take off.
