Sorry, but I'm not clear on what downvotes have to do with this. Are you responding to what I said about downweighting? That just means that we lower the subthread's position on the page.

Downvotes hide your opinion if people do not like it.

It's not encouraging to write something different if it will be invisible/deleted anyway.

And if it's not because it wasn't accurate or good but because some people simply trying to shut up some facts/opinions then it's not encouraging to say something really different

This leads to say standard things that you 'know' will be supported.

That's an entirely different topic, but https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... has past explanations about it.
