random downvotes

General question:

Why is there so many people randomly downvoting normal posts or answers to a post? It's just really confusing I thought that downvote thing is for posts that don't belong here or are not appropriate. But somebody has a random conversation with someone and every post has -2 or something like that.

Why is that?

I'm a really sensitive person, so when I get downvoted it takes a toll. I sit there and contemplate what Im doing with my life and whether I should quit DNMs.

a collection of trolls, angry teenagers, shills, and those "downvote ___ drug posts every time" people.

That is what they're meant for, but people love downvoting others who have a differing opinion or point of view, or even just for the hell of it.

Shills and people who don't like the way you talk. Total shit makes it to the top because it's said in a certain way, where helpful comments get downvoted due to formating or going against the grain with the advice.
