Lemmings who downvote news posts because you disagree with the conclusions, why?

I sometimes post news articles that examine possible problems in society. Some may agree with the author, some may disagree. I often see these posts being downvoted if many disagree with the author.

Why do you downvote the post instead of commenting to express your disagreement?

As far as I understand, the idea is to upvote the post to spur conversation and comment to express your agreement or disagreement. Or did I misunderstand something?

Opinion “news” masquerading as real news is one I’ll always downvote. Usually weeded out through who the publisher is

Rules (interactive)

:::spoiler Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 7- You can’t intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren’t allowed to participate here.
