Candid and Voat were fairly normal. If you called out a logical fallacy you got upvoted. If you agreed with someone on a point and replied to them you both got upvoted. Reddit is... different. ALL logic gets downvoted. Sarcasm does too. If someone replies to you in agreement they get upvoted and you get downvoted as if it's merely an algorithm dependent on who gets last comment.
What is actually going on in that peculiar website? Are its users actually so dumb they despise logic and perceive any final comment as EPIN SHREKAGE!!! or is it completely artificial?
