meta: I'm always interested how the votes go on comments like this. I've been watching periodically and it seems like I get "-2" at random intervals.
This is not the first time that "low yield" karma comments have sporadic changes to their votes.
It seems unlikely at the rate of change (roughly 3-5 point changes per hour) that two people would simultaneously (within a minute) have the same desire to flag a comment, so I can only speculate that:
A) Some people's flag is worth -2
B) Some people, passionate about this topic, have multiple accounts
C) There's bots that try to remain undetected by making only small adjustments to the conversation periodically.
I'm aware that some peoples job very strongly depends on the cloud, but nothing I said could be considered off topic or controversial: Cloud for GPU compute relies on hardware reliability just like everything else does. This is fact. Regardless of this, the voting behaviour on my comments such as this are extremely suspicious.
