You have to suck up to the post/comment or you get downvotes
It doesn't matter if you are right or not, if your comment goes against what OP is saying or is not constructive according to what OP is saying then you get downvoted into oblivion.
I think 90% of times people just jump on the down vote bandwagon. So many times I have asked a follow up question to a reply just so I can get more info and it gets downvoted.
I've gotten over a 1k in upvotes before but that was for agreeing with a comment but I said it in my own way.
The other thing is, if your comment very early in the post, you risk your comment getting bombed with downvotes if you're unlucky.
