Hugging that comment gets hated? I guess I could have expanded.

It's just a HackersNewsism, stuff that doesn't contribute to the discussion, one liners or troll comments all get downvoted.

Your comment didn't add anything to the discussion and could be replaced by the 'Upvote' button.

Fair enough. I'm new to posting here and being up-/downvoted; I usually just lurk.

Hey, that's fair enough! I remember getting downvoted a bit when I first joined, but don't be afraid to say something just because you'll get downvoted! It's just stuff like "<3" that will get immediate downvotes from everyone.
