I would appreciate it if people shared why they’re downvoting this post. It’s very discouraging to spend time writing up a detailed question and then just get mass downvoted for no apparent reason.
Edit: For context, I wrote this when the post was at −6 votes.
It does seem odd from what I’ve observed, some high effort posts get downvoted and some low effort posts get upvoted by a lot in the first few hours.
It might be some kind of coordinated trolling, bot spam, or something else. Since it seems possible for a single individual to make multiple accounts. I just treat every karma score within 50 points of zero as roughly the same.

Agree, I am also confused about this as a bystander.
