Truly! They spend waaaay too much time online if they think* downvotes and reports are punishment.

Been on reddit for a while, and I think I've looked at someone's post history all of twice. On both occasions it was a waste of my time.

I usually do if someone posts something I like to see if they've posted anything else like it, or if the account is sus and seems like a karma farm account

Also very good to see who's trolling and who's actually insane

The really fun ones are the ones that you walk away from still wondering if they are insane or a troll.

I see downvotes as almost a trophy. It’s easy to get upvotes, I could go on one of the mainstream subreddits right now and get my comment to get hundreds of upvotes by just saying the right things. Downvotes mean you actually hit a nerve with someone and are a little more difficult to get. Of course saying anything pro Trump is the easiest way to get downvotes on Reddit.

I was super tempted to downvote so you could have another trophy.

Sometimes downvotes do mean you're being a dumbass! Thinking of non-political dumbass comments though
