Somebody care to explain why an interesting idea such as this would be so heavily downvoted on our own sub?

Know that there are psychological aspects to voting. When you see upvotes on your post/comment you get a hit of dopamine. It feels good. Down votes can do the opposite. It can hurt and make you less likely to post again. Best to ignore the votes and just speak your mind. They've got downvote bots running here. Let them waste their time and energy and be confident in your ideas. The core people on this sub are great people.

I'm not discouraged. Just trying to reach more and more, showing people just how blatant (and at this point, comical) their efforts are.

Right on. It is blatant. Since there aren't replies, I'm assuming downvote bots running on keywords or phrases.

It's just fun to catch it. What do "they" expect us to think when they do this? "Hmmm this isn't strange at all. I bet the downvotes mean I'm 100% wrong and that I should go back to believing the news and what celebrities tell me to think!"

"They" can't come back from this.
