Getting downvoted means collectively that content is not wanted. If that is a “bad take” (to reject that content when it is actually valuable) the forum does it at its own peril. There is responcibility in voting.
To try to evaluate whether some piece of content would have been valuable if it had been upvoted is very challenging.
I agree that you should not “karma optimise” or filter your posts, but rather than getting the content through you should be be content with the silence. Original Content that is later discovered is way more valuable than “expectation pulp” that gets the poster into the ingroup.
