I'm curious why you care.
My guess: humans are naturally wired to care about what others think; that part of my brain is hugely oversized or overactive.
It's not without its advantages, but there's a tradeoff. I get a huge motivational high when something is well received, but the price I pay is near-depression when something isn't.
Unfortunately the "exchange rate" for me is bad: downvotes are worth about five to ten times what upvotes are.
This approximately matches the impact that positive and negative social exchanges have on people in general in person. (From my recollection of relevant studies read years ago.)
Plus, downvotes actually do mean more, because people don't make them nearly as frequently.
Wow, that's interesting. I might like to read about that at some point.
It isn't where I first encountered it but The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't included a reference.
