If all you did was explain why you disapproved of things you'd be giving undo (reasonably) attention towards something you felt was stupid. Why waste the time when you're not obliged? That's all I'm curious about - you could find another topic more important and make that topic popular.

It's a (perhaps undo) attempt to purge non-HN type stories from HN. It's a kind of not very useful or productive hobby.
And I comment when I disapprove of a thread because the flag and shut up mantra has never sat right with me. I prefer to explain why I dislike something.
