(rant) Something that keeps on bothering me is downvotes.

Vent and rants

Like once I try to comment and be AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE or state my observations, I instantly the downvoted. "But Diamond, upvotes and downvotes don't matter!" Well ofc, if you have a lot of karma. I do, but I still get a dreadful feeling when I see I got downvoted.

Earlier, I got -1 or -2 votes, and this is one example. This was in a post about one person being discouraged about their art.

In this image, I tried to state my observations as objective as possible but then I get downvoted.

Karma doesn't even matter, but why the hell do I still get a dreadful feeling sometimes when I get downvoted? Is something wrong with what I said? Maybe, yes. But I tried to not sound biased.

I even try to remind myself that karma doesn't matter, but still.
