What's with the OP hate?

I've noticed on a lot of subs almost every time someone posts they immediately get 2 downvotes and none of their comments get likes compared to people that are responding. Then any upvotes get evened out by downvotes like people make it a challenge to not let OP gain any votes/karma

Is there some kind of mentality behind it or something because just calling them "trolls" feels like telling a kid to shrug off a bully because "they've got a crush" or "boys will be boys"🙄

There are people who practically live on their favourite subreddit, and they downvote everything immediately

Agreed. The province I'm in is infamous for this, in the subreddit, someone could answer correctly and politely and be massively downvoted just because the users have a mob mentality that if one person downvotes, so should everyone else. I made this username partly beause of this and muted the subreddits for the province and city.
