MODERATORS
Sometimes it feels like a bandwagon. I'm sure a lot of the time people mindlessly downvote instinctually or are more likely to based simply on the existing score.
You're right people may quickly downvote a post. If it's happening, it's because they didn't like it. There might be more people who like it in the world elsewhere, but they didn't see it or they didn't press the button. It's more helpful to take it as information, instead of trying to argue with it.
