Because people try to silence opinions with downvotes and some even troll by downvoting anything

People will pile on to an already downvoted comment as well so there's a sort of negative momentum that's not really conducive to a friendly discussion.

i guess yeah. although it was funny to see every fourth comment downvotes to shit on r/shitposting
