We heard your complaint but you are being acting entitled now. People are free to register, free to comment, if you don't like it, downvote it. It is the top comment, that means it is being upvoted. get over it.

I tend to downvote very rarely and only for clear violations for the rules, not for comments I don't like. Telling the author why you didn't like something they did often gets them to change or explain their behavior. Just because something is upvoted doesn't mean it is something that should be on Hacker News.

I just don’t mind repeating myself whether it changes anything or not I guess. Simply because discussing paywalled links or Pinterest linked is invariably more interesting than whatever is found (or not found) when following those links.
