Genuine question about posts on this sub

This subs purpose is to post your interactions, and for people to explain why you got downvoted.

I just scrolled through the "best" and "hot" posts, and almost every single post is sitting at 0 upvotes.

I dont know exactly how they system works on posts, I've never seen a post go negative so I assume its just capped at 0 and is getting downvoted.

So my question is, why does every single post using this sub for what its meant to be used getting downvoted? It seems kinda counterproductive to me.

Am I in the wrong here? I wanted to check for the new post to see what people have been saying and saw they seemingly abandoned it, so I decided to continue it. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong by doing that, and they're literally reported me for doing it?

Why, though?

It’s on a post about the chess set Duolingo released some time ago. The contrast on the chessboard is awful, which is bad from a design perspective as well as accessibility wise. That far, people agreed. But why the downvotes when I said that accessibility is actually a huge market advantage because more people are able to use your product?

I commented why people would loot a building that's about to be destroyed by an earthquake soon and everyone will be doing the same thing if it's an apocalypse since a lot of people in my country are poor. Why they downvoted me? Is it because they were robbed before?

I have... no idea what I did wrong.

Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/comments/1txpz4e/comment/oq2byou/?screen_view_count=2

Was just looking around at properties, online searches weren't turning up much, somehow the listing ended up on a completely seperate agency website.

And the dive bar I mentioned is an actual dive bar, constant fights breaking out there throughout the day, belligerent drunks and drug addicts. A guy even filmed a video once doing a tour of Scottish pubs and he was immediately kicked out just because he was... there... Maybe they didn't like that he was filming I dunno... but they went from 0 to 60 aggressive pretty fast.

So confused?

I was explaining how he should have been kicked out of the team. Am I not allowed to mention that he was a good player, despite being a terrible person.

I understand the downvotes on the first comment of mine due to not answering a majority of the questions being asked (though I feel I answered some), but why were the rest of my comments downvoted?

Why am I instantly downvoted every time I make a post(like "-2")???...

I'm the primary moderator for r/MikesellFamBamSnark, and EVERY time I make a post, I automatically--and illegally--downvoted...

To me, it's disrespectful and rude...

The Question was essentially “Why do some women get offended when asked what they bring to the table?”

This was upvoted at first, but quickly plunged downward. I don’t see anything that would be controversial, I’m just stating how I perceive things, not making an ideological statement.

What was wrong with my post?

I feel like I get downvoted every time I ask a question on this app and I don't understand why. All I want is to hear different perspectives from different people so I can understand the people in my life better and why they might behave the way they do (although I know I'm not a mind reader but at least it can bring me a step closer to acceptance) and that's the goal with most of my posts. There was no further intent behind my question, just curiousity, but idk if it comes of a certain way.
