Folks use it as dislike button way too often. Even if they choose to scroll the all feed, they'll just use it that way without thinking that they could use the other options and see way less stuff they don't like.
That's what I figure it is, when an otherwise on topic and properly linked post gets down voted early. It gets balanced out by people that either use the actual community, or get annoyed at pointless down votes and up vote to correct for that, but it takes time.
I choose to believe that the downvotes for this specific comment just means some people want hugs. But yeah, in all other cases it's treated as a "disagree" button.
