At the time of writing that comment, it was 2 - 2, with one upvote from me.
I don't think that getting rid of downvotes is a good idea, it's a great tool, just a lot of people use it incorrectly
I support downvotes too, even if it doesn't look like it from the post. If it's used correctly, it's a really good system.
You put atleast 130 times more effort to this comment than the average downvoter, thank you, you get my upvote!
The votes still represent something in my opinion, that's why they're there. And I really don't like it when I spend time writing, sometimes researching, formatting and somebody just says „no, this is shit” without even reading the first sentence, because they can just do that.
Thanks for the review!
I tend to leave really long comments, sometimes with a bit of raw information, so I see how that can be the case. Some communities like reading all the way trough, but I'm pretty sure that in some places, they don't even read my username, just vote based on my avatar.
Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it's considered as a really big price
