Uh, why the downvote? Can HN institute a policy that a reply is required if you downvote?

You're just farming more downvotes by clearly being affected by them and then complaining about them.
If this is how you respond to pointless vote counts, I would avoid revisiting comments after you leave them for the sake of your mental health.

I didn't leave a downvote, but that sounds like a horrible policy. You'd get a ton of short comments on the least-valuable (as judged by voters) comments, bloating the comment tree and making it way less readable.
It is fortunate, not unfortunate, that YouTube prevents editing of the video itself after a video has been uploaded, viewed, interacted with, shared, commented on, and started to accumulate karma of various sorts.
