>so I don't understand the massive downvoting

I'm curious about this too. Sure, I'm argumentative and sometimes post a bit too aggressively in my tone, but I've had seemingly innocuous posts get down-voted within a minute or two of posting them.

Normally I wouldn't care, but it seems like HN has an algorithm that punishes people who are consistently downvoted ("slow down"). It is possible to game that system?

This reflects my experience with this post, it was immediately (within a few minutes) downvoted drastically.

Now it has normalized it seems and is neutral.
