Then expect to be downvoted without explicitly posting that expectation. Nothing good will come of it.

Why? It's just another way of saying "I realise fully that this is not a popular opinion amongst most users of this website"

At the end of the day, it's against site guidelines:

Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downvote you or proclaim that you expect to get downvoted.

You may not agree with it (which is fine), but it's largely accepted by the community.
