Once again missing the point. The prevailing opinion on HN is what will get upvoted, and a lot of other stuff will get downvoted. I have seen that prevailing opinion be hilariously wrong before.
If you want to be heard with an unpopular opinion, you have to make a compelling argument... you can't expect to be upvoted to the top just because you're sharing an opinion. It's rare for a comment to be lukewarm enough for no one to feel strongly enough to downvote it. It's going up, going down, or it's on a thread no one is reading. Downvotes don't mean people hate the person leaving the downvoted comments; it's just a tool for disagreeing with comments.

Because people disagreed with you? People even left explanations, but that wasn't enough.
