Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.
Rules
- No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
- Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
- Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
- Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.
Will add more rules as needed.

MODERATORS
I have a theory that the random handful of downvotes that tend to happen on a perfectly good post. On some mobile clients, it is really easy to accidentally downvote something with a gesture while scrolling. If you aren't paying attention, you won't even notice it.
Definitely another possibility. I know I've hit the buttons unintentionally before myself.
I just thought this was a good time to mention that if there was an intent behind it, like with the 2 commenters here, that it would be more productive to let the poster know rather than to assume they know why they're being downvoted in those cases. It just helps both parties.
