Downvoter here. Is there a custom of always explaining downvotes? Should there be one?

I down voted because it was a post about AI (yawn), and in particular a stupid one. But looking at it again I see that it may not be as stupid as I thought, downvote revoked.

No and no. However, it's usually good when downvoted commenters learn why they got downvoted.

The most interesting comments are left by downvoters.

"Downvoters leave the most interesting comments", my original formulation, is false in one of its natural interpretations.

Upvoted ;-)
