Also unless you’ve already beat that vote threshold when initially posting, it’s hard to turn it back. And if you’re posting something contrarian to what’s already upvoted despite it being misleading or false, then chances are whoever’s agreeing are going to be reading it more than the people disagreeing.
In circumstances like this, there are some very rare cases that don’t apply to 99.999% of the population, but it DOES apply to them. Biology be fucked like that. However you could never have a conversation on the internet if all you did was cite exceptions or anticipate personal anecdotes lol.
