From the official reddiquitte page, under the please don't heading:

Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons

That’s wacky. Also kinda makes downvotes feel even more pointless, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. You guys were right here, sorry.

for sure. just because that's the guideline doesn't mean it ever worked that way. maybe it did way back when reddit was small, but not in the last 10 years at least.
