Comment on Ask HN: Has anyone else noticed a recent sentiment shift on HN?parent

Comments

It's not a left-right thing. Even apolitical stuff gets downvoted. Comments about health, obesity, diet tend to get a lot of downvotes...

Well, everything has become political though, right? I mean, you mentioned health, but that's actually a hyper-political topic.

maybe political division has made people more inclined to downvote out of disagreement overall, as being symptomatic of angrier times.
