By calling the downvotes your fault, it seems that you’re asserting that your post is a causal ancestor of the downvotes, which is a bit off, I think. I’d guess that the downvotes of your post and the downvotes of jwdink’s comment have a common cause (that being a certain utility-maximizing mindset and/or set of preferences), but are not otherwise causally related.
