They sure love to downvote vegetables off their eating tray.
Upvote/Downvote is the first mental skill that infants learn.

That explains the downvotes - infants!

Memes are helping people reduce their thinking back to that level. Ahhh, progress.

And then some of them learn that downvoting is obnoxious and toxic, while others never grow out of infancy.

There is some truth to this in that one of the first distinctions infants learn to make is “good/bad” or “pleasure/pain,” in terms of its ability to analyze its own emotional states.
That being said, it’s still an increíble oversimplification of even an infant’s mind.

If you use it as a like/dislike button, sure.
If you use it to bump relevant stuff to the top and non-relevant stuff to the bottom, maybe not so much.

What’s more relevant to a baby than like/dislike?

I’ve never understood this idea of having an etiquette telling people how they “should” use their vote. If voting means anything, then people get to use their vote however they want. They can do it by dice roll if they feel like it.
Now remember, if you dislike this comment, according to your own logic, that’s not a good reason to downvote it.
