Did anyone else have the experience that two downvotes on Reddit hurt more than the good feeling from getting100 upvotes? Or was that just me?

That kind of thing can push people away from new hobbies just because they aren't familiar with reddit though.

And if downvotes are disabled, then either they just get ignored and drowned out by other posts/comments, or someone points them to the wiki and they still get the answer they wanted.
