okay. i have something to say now - i hate gimmick downvoters, i will snarkily reply to downvoter comments i find moronic, BUT, your site series on this overly vilifies downvoting in general, as if not finding something funny is a crime. its not. the reason supposedly 'smarter' ytmnders rarely openly downvote, if at all, is merely to prevent revenge.
in the days where you could blind downvote, this was especially true because the wrong comment to the wrong person meant all your sites getting 1'd. and how many people here who hate downvoters THEMSELVES revenge downvote the people you listed? listen, I don't like Adverb much at all, but the 'eye for an eye' treatment back at him truly undermines your case, which is why so many people think of it as whining.
as for me? i probably downvote (even openly) now more than ever. why? well, i've been around a long while - i see stolen gifs, more importantly, stolen EDITED gifs which take time, prosper. I generally 1 ytmnds of screenshots of 'funny news stories' and of gifs that have been posted on ytmnd 1000 times already. and occasionally yes, I'll downvote something that took more effort than that. *(ctd)
"I don't like Adverb much at all,
but the 'eye for an eye' treatment back at him truly undermines your case,

Let's face it, 99% of YTMNDs are total crap, but I'm seeing better sites thanks to the new dynamic up and coming. If I do downvote a site, I try to give a reason for doing so, unless it's not even worth my time.
