Reddit's "downvotes to oblivion" are rage inducing but one thing I noticed, people look at downvoted comments. And it's one of the easiest ways to get visibility. Lot simpler to piss people off than make them happy.

I came to see it as a tool. No publicity is bad publicity, right?

In the last couple years I used reddit, I'd skim the top few comments of a page, then skip right to the bottom to see the non-hive takes. Anything hidden because of score definitely got me to click it open.
