I think eyes are the most beautiful and stunning part of the human body.

What are the advantages of downvotes anyway? If somebody breaks the rules, you can report them. If nothing is done about it, you can leave a community. If you dislike most of the content of an user or a community, you can give your negative feedback or block them. If you think somebody is wrong on some subject, you can correct them.

Sure, to be honest it feels good to press the downvote button on a comment or post I dislike, but I could live without it.

Can someone provide a quick rundown on what makes them “problematic” to cause such a reaction?

I always found the votes in !albumartporn@lemmy.world a bit suspicious. This confirms my suspicion.

Why do people do this?

To be fair, Cowbee didn’t specify that they successfully tried it!

It would have been cool to involve the community by doing some kind of art contest. (Not saying I would participate, I just like the idea.)
