Nah, they’re just a downvote troll. Look at their history. Account created yesterday and already at -522 comment karma. This is why reddit ended up capping downvotes at -100 because idiots like that person used to love to make a game out of seeing who could get the most downvotes.
Never really looked at it from that angle, almost seems a decent argument for removing visible downvotes all together. Should I not be as pissed at YT as I think I should be?
Instead, hiding the downvotes makes troll comments look reasonable and even popular as they brigade a community to upvote their narrative. The average user has no way to combat or discourage it.
