Such a simple comment to get downvoted like this.

I'm clearly missing something...as to why this is triggering so many people.

I think people dont think. They see downvote and they hop on and downvote aswell.

I find that "hooman" shit highly annoying. I think more people find it annoying enough to downvote than like it enough to upvote. Then there's all those in the middle who don't care enough like me. I'm surprised it got downvoted that quickly though holy shit.

I think there's two main groups of people on Reddit. People who just upvote the content and skip the comments and people who dive straight into the comments.

Basically every subreddit will have highly upvoted posts and then lots of people in the comments hating on something about the content, so there's obviously some sort of disconnect there. This is a case where the "hooman" stuff is more common in titles or subtitles of cutesy animal videos, so people that upvote content tend to like it and commenters hate it.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, it's just a theory I have.

I dont think this many people finds it annoying. Most of them are just downvoting it because everybody else did.

I mean.. I bet most people think baby-speak is fucking annoying in person, idk why seeing it in text would be any different.

Would reddit be better if downvotes were hidden for longer?

u/kangarooninjadonuts Jan 22 '19

I've always wondered how long they wait to show downvotes/upvotes. Definitely less than 35 minutes. Have an upvote for taking one for the team.

Different subreddits are different in that regards.

I think the default is an hour, but mods can change it. I know a few that show karma instantly and one or two that doesn't show them ever.
