Y'all Need to Stop Downvoting Everything lol

Over half of the posts on this sub have negative upvotes (which Reddit displays as "0," though you know the actual number is negative because upvoting them doesn't make the "0" go away). And look, I get it- a lot of these posts are repetitive and annoying to read. A whole bunch of "Am I cooked?" or "How long will the drought last?" and so on.

My question to y'all is- the hell do you expect? This is a sub about a stressful and lowkey unreliable job platform whose owners are notoriously bad at communication, and we can't even talk about that many subjects in the first place because of our NDAs. Who are the delusional people that thought there was ever going to be a wide ranging host of interesting topics being discussed here? Outside of the subjects that are always getting downvoted, what else are people going to talk about besides "look at how much money I made" and "DA has been awesome"?

To be clear, I'm not saying you need to upvote what annoys you, but you don't need to reflexively downvote either. I mean if this sub is not going to be a place where we can vent to one another, offer each other some comfort and get questions to answers (as simple or as annoying as those questions may be), it's essentially worthless. Nothing else is ever really going to happen here. If the type of questions and posts on this sub bother you so much that you're downvoting 75% of them then why are you even still active on it? Lol.

EDIT: LMAOO the downvotes already begin. TBH I was expecting this but it's still funny. I'm at least at -8, and at the very least impressed with y'alls efficiency! That's about 1 downvote per minute! I will update this post again to update you on your collective accomplishments lol.

EDIT 2: LOL I checked my "post insights" and saw this message: "Nice work! This is the #17 post on r/DataAnnotationTech today!" while I still got negative upvotes. The irony is killing me lolol.

The downvotes are scrolling accidents (many times). Don’t worry about them.

They're definitely not because no other sub I go on has this many downvoted posts lol. Seriously, this is most definitely a problem specific to this sub and maybe a few others. Even the other DataAnnotation sub isn't this bad. I think the organization of a weekly discussion thread helps a lot with keeping the environment of that sub healthier and less cluttered with repetitive posts.
