My guess is that the comment was downvoted because it's wrong, or at least inaccurate. People are seldom rewarded for harming others: using Carlo M. Cipolla's terminology, there is an important distinction between banditry and stupidity. Banditry probably causes quite a bit of harm, but stupidity may be far more common overall. It's also more relevant to LessWrong's goal of promoting rationality.
