I’ve occasionally noticed ordinary comments with zero upvotes to them. Yet, our own comments are upvoted automatically whenever we make them. So for comments to have zero upvotes, either something I don’t know about is happening, or there are people who downvote their own contributions.

I can’t help but wonder, why? It seems like extra effort without a clear reason.

    I only do it when I wanna screenshot something and see it has 70, 43, or 421 upvotes. Or if I’m sending it to a friend who has a lucky number and my comment is one vote higher
