Everyone's voting you down, because nuance on the internet is difficult - as is admitting you're wrong about something.

Everything this comment above says is also detailed in the book Sacred Cow. Large corporations are, again, the problem. But people come out of the woodwork to defend them under an article that vilifies them.

Everyone's not voting voakbasda down—the comment has been heavily upvoted. You may have run into the contrarian dynamic:

Earlier yesterday, the comment was heavily voted down before myself and another voted it up. It's why there were two comments talking about it being voted down. Did you notice they were both posted within a minute of each other? It's deleted now, but this did happen

It got literally one downvote before you voted it back up, 7 minutes later.

I'm pretty sure the score was -2 before myself and another person commented on it. Not that it matters.

My perception at the time of posting the comment was correct. If I could edit the wording now, I would, but I can't. Weird flex.

Not to pile on, but in case it's interesting: there had been one downvote and upvote by the time you commented. The lowest the score ever reached was 0.
