I read awhile that there are just some lurkers on subreddits that downvote new posts so they don’t reach the popular page, or maybe they just thought this was a shit question but it happens quite a lot

the whole downvote thing is still such a mystery to me and i've been here for years. everything gets downvoted... it seems automatic. are these real people, or is it bots are something??
and i question if it's real people because i never use the downvote button... i sometimes forget it's there so it's baffling when people use it for legit posts. or maybe some people just think of or use reddit differently? like... "oh i don't like this post, downvote!"?
anyways, i think a great solution for this is to just make it compulsory for users to comment why they downvote something whenever they do.
