A comment on Brave launches 1.0. Parent comment

That your comment was highly upvoted doesn't necessarily mean what you think it does. I often upvote items I disagree with only because they bring up something worthy of discussion. I'm curious how many other HNers do the same.

I do, though it's rare. I've done it for comments a few times, but mostly just for low-karma threads that don't have any comments yet, where I want to see what other people have to say.

Yeah I could have done without that comment. My point was fine before I added it.

Still getting quite a few me too responses.

On tired old political debates like this, most votes are just cheers for one team or the other.
