Funny, I just thought “My dad would get a real kick out of these.”

It’s an influence game like anything else online now that the Internet is commoditized. Corporations and political influence campaigns can and do pay for control of high-traffic accounts and communities to nudge discussions to benefit whatever they’re selling.
I’ve never encountered that myself. What communities are you commenting in that you’re getting banned elsewhere for it?
On a dog.
Named in honor of Biff Yeager, I presume. His mail-in campaign finally paid off.
Honestly it’s a problem with binary ranking systems across the board. Maybe if there were additional axes you could vote on, like “agree/disagree”, “quality/low effort”, “nuanced/trite”, etc. I don’t know how one would go about implementing such a thing, but until someone does, we’re stuck with having a simplistic system that doesn’t adequately reflect the complicated responses real people have to content.
Yup.
I spent over a decade on reddit, and I learned that whenever someone did stuff like that, it was because I had struck a chord. And they usually got bored of their harassment pretty quickly when I ignored them.

A) There is no hive mind. That’s just you perceiving a bunch of people who happen to hold a similar opinion as a monolith, and that’s an illusion. You have no data whatsoever to support the idea that they’re thinking in concert or even have the same reasons for their reactions.
d) Instead of having a kneejerk reaction when you get this kind of response and immediately being defensive, step back and use it as a reflective moment. Maybe you misjudged the room, misinterpreted the potential impact of what you posted, or are simply on a different track from those who downvoted. What can you learn from it? Do you need to change your own approach, or do you need to reevaluate your audience?

I keep telling myself that someday I’ll be able to buy a computer that can actually handle any of these, and then I’ll have a library of games ready to go.
What the crap is a “consumer geeta roy”?
Yes, movie trailers are ads. Film at eleven.
It has one of the best final shots I’ve seen in a film since The Fabelmans. I laughed loudly at that. And honestly the rest of it was super fun. The big battle scene was a blast, and has some incredibly innovative stuff in it.
