Comment on Is HN negative by design?parent

Comments

There is a downvote button, it's just visible after a certain karma threshold, which moves up at the same rate as "karma inflation".

There's no downvote button on stories. That encourages people to leave negative comments, because they can't express their "negativity" by downvoting.

Nice, I better work on my Karma. Thank You!
