before, i have disliked a few comments. but i'm sure my reasoning was because of how a few words managed to offend me. i wasn't really good at taking opinions, so i guess my anger just got the best of me. even so, i'm sure people have their own unique reasons as to why they do so. maybe they're just trolls? or perhaps, something else. we're all in the internet here - this place is plagued with hate after all.
Well on mangago even if its by accident if you click the dislike button "you have voted"
After a certain amount of dislikes on this site, I believe the post disappears. 25 dislikes it the required amount, I think. It's also just a way to passive aggressively express an opinion, or whether you agree with the post or not depending on what it is. Personally I do not bother with it unless the original post is clearly a troll or something I just want to quickly dismiss. I have also clicked it on accident.
I was annoyed enough to click it. A good way to get me to do it is to continuously bring up a tired and done with topic over and over. At that point I won't comment anymore and just thumb down the post.
Some other things:
-Hating on canon ships while clearly having a bias for a fanon one. I will thumb that down fast and hard. Like sorry your ship sunk babe but let people enjoy the real couple.
I downvote something because I dislike it for whatever reason. Yeah, I'm lazy, but it doesn't take as much effort as you seem to think.
hmm interesting theory.
Thank you all so far for your insight into this. It is very educational.
I tested the theory out, and I got 27 dislikes on a post that I told people to dislike. So yeah, about 25.
I have been curious about why people would click the dislike button. As to me, it's too much work. If I don't like something I just move on right past it. Sure I will sometimes put down a comment if I am questioning the quality of something. But normally I just move on. If you have ever clicked dislike, I want to know your reasoning. I am curious.
