I down voted you for complaining about downvotes
u seem to care a lot more about it than anyone else
most folks just downvote and probably half read. i wouldnt worry about downvotes theyre not even tracked.
Plenty of reasons; its small & compact, looks cute, different from the normal slab style phones that everyone has become used to, and it has a screen that folds which does look fun and futuristic.
Ive been waiting to buy one myself, but the prices have just been to dear until now with this one and future entry levels coming out.
Yeah you're not wrong, it sucks. People treat it as a "I disagree" button while it was intended for off topic comments and spam.
Then the hive mind takes over and people pile on. I used to call it the reddit hive mind, but I guess it's not limited to that.
I know it's frustrating but I don't think we can change human nature. If you are sure you said nothing "wrong" (like hate speech, off topic comment, etc) then it's best to shrug and move on.
I know what you mean. Unfortunately, when the answer is "the room disagrees with your take" there's not much to think about. So if you make sure your comments are clean, you'll have to accept it happening from time to time.
Its better for your mental health in the end!
Downvotes are to display disagreement. So if I disagree, I downvote.
Edit: I think people have misunderstood my point. What you use the button for isn't relevant here... The button is for voting whether you like or dislike something. If you don't find something interesting, you don't vote, and if it seems Irrelevant, you invoke the Moderators.
Interesting, I use them for relevancy/irrelevancy to the discussion
Understandable. Although, I think the report features are usually in place for such actions, right?
Like, if my comment makes no sense under a certain post, or if my post is irrelevant to the community, then wouldn't reporting it to the mods be the more logical action than just downvoting?
No. If I disagree, I hit reply.
Sure. That's you. But these rating systems came from the idea of Like/Dislike, meaning you like or dislike something. You don't rate it if you have no opinion.
At least, that's what I understand.
Why do you think the downvote button exists? For funsies? Sorry we aren't saving you're precious feelings by using one of the fundamental features of the website
You said everything but what was asked of you. You're making this harder on yourself. You raise good points, at the wrong places.
Perhaps, but it's price makes it more accessible compared to the z flip
Probably because I had a wonderful time with the first razr phone. Do you realize there is a thing called: reputation, and Motorola has a good amount of it
What was the Motorola mobile arm is now owned by Lenovo, so...ehhhhh... That being said, the Razr reboot line has been pretty neat. Although the lack of OS updates is absolutely terrible.
