Personally, I get downvoted for literally anything I type about Apple. Apple zealots will steadfastly defend the honor of the company even in opposition to their own interests.
Bring on the downvotes!

Well for what it’s worth I’m a lifelong Apple user and have no desire to downvote your criticisms of them.

You jumped to a conclusion about what was said (the informational issue). Then you very combatively and rudely dismissed that idea.
It reads like you had a bone to pick with the information density argument, and just wanted to get into a flamewar when you saw someone who perhaps disagreed with you. I expect people weren't downvoting empathy. I think they were down voting a rude attempt at starting an off-topic flame war.

I appreciate you telling me your perspective. I honestly didn’t know how else to interpret the comment, and I had no rude or combative intentions. I have no energy or desire for a flame war. I do have a direct communication style that can be offputting to some. Thank you for helping me remember to pay attention to that.
1. Asking people to show a little empathy to others (eg use your scroll wheel so people can benefit from reading a thing or clicking it at all)
2. Asking people to show a little empathy to others (eg recognizing that people who have violent ideologies are dangerous and don’t deserve free mandatory amplification from others’ resources).
3. Asking people to show a little empathy to others (eg not trashing people’s fun/exploratory/educational/hobby projects).
I don’t get downvoted for anything else. I’m sometimes surprised for the silly stuff I get upvoted for. But give half a damn and it’s just like the hateful crowds on Slashdot and 4chan and every platform they’ve flocked to, who just hate seeing anyone give a fuck about anyone or anything.
