When I find myself getting too optimistic about humanity
-
There is some person on the ESP32 subreddit, that since I've been going there over the past several years, appears to religiously downvote every new post. It appears that's all they do, every day, day in day out. I don't really care, but I *do* notice. It's hard not to given how reliable it is. Sometimes I like to try to crawl around inside his head and spend a day in the life, if you will. I come away from it with a more realistic view toward people. And yes, I realize it could be a bot, but it doesn't really change my view of the person who wrote it. All that effort for what? :laugh:

Years ago, here on CPP there used to be a competition to keep your article on the front page so people would down vote other peoples articles so that it yours would move down in popularity and fall from the list. If I remember right it was like a "Most Popular" list on the Home page.

Yeah, that sort of thing just drives the wrong behavior. So many people don't take human nature into account.

People also behave in a manner on the internet that they would otherwise not behave in person to person - including myself. I think we are all guilty of this type of behavior online, in one way or another, at some time past, present, future.

There's often an old boys' network lurking somewhere. Usurpers beware.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

We can pretend it isn't, but there's a war. After the US attacked Nordstream, things changed.

So, down votes on a subreddit by an obvious pimple faced 14 year old troll, is somehow caused by the world's war with Russia? WT actual F :sigh:

If you write your own posts, you are not reading theirs. I suspect that is the problem ;P

Huge amounts of things are most easily explained when considering that kids now have platforms where they aren't just shoulder-shrugged on account of having zero life experience. They get taken "seriously" when they really at least should be filtered through that lens. Not dissimilar, Americans (me) also tend to assume Americans on the other end. The huge differences in social norms sometimes leads to head butting by itself.
