I’ve been on some forums you could recognize people with “You did good, have a number” buttons, but having to justify a “you did poorly” is a great concept to me.
Most of my downvotes here and on Reddit are “irrelevant and basically spam comment”, far more rare here than Reddit. Here I’ve scarcely seen a
“this”
On Reddit, I downvoted 80% of the comments I saw, they were all “this” or “I wish I cud giv u AWARD” or “play stupid games” or vapid bullshit like that. Bonus points for the tenth person to comment the same response to a thread because they didn’t bother to read any comments before screeching their “I AM CLEVER FOR RECOGNISE MY REFERENCE” to the void.
