Why is this downvoted? The usual paid-to-brigade people coming in?

No idea.

In your case it is probably because of name-calling.

Personally I usually don't downvote people for asking nicely why something was downvoted (when it isn't totally obvious) even if I know it is against the rules but the the moment name-calling starts any hesitation goes out the window.

I'm not paid and I just downvoted you because I really dislike this kind of comment.

It's unverifiable mud-slinging and your tone was brusque and dismissive.

It’s also complaining about downvotes which is explicitly against the rules.
