You get downvotes because you make many factually incorrect statements.

Huh. Could a downvoter explain whether it's because they think my post is factually incorrect, or because they don't like the facts as presented?

You get quite a lot of downvotes around here, just for quoting facts.

kbenson | karma 31158 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2012-09-04 07:28:42+00:00

Because some of your assertions are factually incorrect. That's a valid reason to downvote.

constmu | karma 2 | avg karma 0.4 · | 2019-07-04 02:12:00+00:00

It is downvoted because it is incorrect.

refurb | karma 27208 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2020-03-11 06:45:06+00:00

You’re getting downvoted, but none of your facts are inaccurate.

Please explain why anything said above is not factual rather than downvote?

I think he is being downvoted because he is factual wrong. Could someone please elaborate with details?

Negative1 | karma 682 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2016-05-05 21:24:58

Why the downvote? Everything I stated is factually accurate.

iron0013 | karma 2345 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2020-10-29 19:15:47+00:00

I believe downvoters are likely responding to the factual inaccuracies in your post; not to mention the tone.

I would assume that most of downvoters know this. They are not downvoting because they think you are factually wrong, they are downvoting because your comment was just pedantic and doesn't add anything to the conversation.

rafiki6 | karma 1277 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2019-03-15 16:22:52+00:00

Not entirely sure why I am getting downvoted here. It's factually correct and relevant to the discussion. I'm starting to think someone is actively trying to downvote my comments.

staplers | karma 1318 | avg karma 2.02 · | 2019-02-04 19:10:19

Nearly all of my comments are upvoted, many with 50+ upvotes. This poster is making factually incorrect statements and I am the one in trouble here..

Bud | karma 9252 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2020-09-05 21:36:21

You get downvoted when you say incorrect, obviously dishonest things.

michaelbuddy | karma 262 | avg karma 0.34 · | 2015-02-23 18:56:33

Nice, I get downvotes for having a balanced opinion and statements that can be fact checked quite easily.

JohnTHaller | karma 11891 | avg karma 4.09 · | 2016-01-24 18:09:20+00:00

It's not unusual to be downvoted for factual posts by people who disagree with said facts.

emn13 | karma 3468 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2014-04-02 21:41:00+00:00

Downvoter: care to explain why you feel this is inaccurate?

baobabKoodaa | karma 4773 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2021-07-11 11:30:47

Why am I being downvoted for stating an undisputed fact? Do you feel good about yourself for promoting misinformation and downvoting factual corrections?

skissane | karma 14189 | avg karma 2.85 · | 2024-05-01 16:55:37

I take it from the downvotes people think what I said is factually wrong?

If that's the case, I wish someone would point out where I've got it wrong instead of just silently downvoting

I just got down voted for pointing out the article is factually wrong and suggesting that it not be up voted for that reason. Believe what you want to believe internets!
