If you don’t like it, block the bot?

I’m confused on why people would downvote threads that account for most of the content in this community

    Daily threads are dumb.

    I’d rather not block a bot.

    There’s nothing complex going on here. Also, to agree with the other guy, this call out is creepy as hell.

      Inferring that info is maybe not as straight-forward as you’re assuming.

      As for being called out, it was a dick move in response to a dick move. I’m surprised you guys aren’t more robust in the face of someone disagreeing with you.

            Downvotes mean exactly the same thing as upvotes, that I either like or dislike the content.

            There’s nothing deep here. This is random social media where votes and points don’t matter. Everyone has their own interpretation of what an upvote or downvote means. No one gets to dictate it.

            Getting upset about downvotes, that’s the only ludicrous thing happening in this thread.

            Downvotes are supposed to represent anything worse than aphathy which includes mild discontent. It’s not like it takes much more effort to click one button before scrolling past anyways. You’re treating this like they leave a comment talking about how much they hate the daily threads.
