1. Stop worrying about karma. It's not a measure of your worth as a person or something. 2. Be helpful. Answer questions people have. Share useful information that others didn't know to ask for.

I agree. More details.

@GP: After a quick look of your previous comments, a suggestion is to write longer comments. Avoid oneliners. Expand the comment with more details and helpful information, but not unnecessary crap like in an easy for school. This is not a hard rule, but you need a few months here to learn when you can break it.

If you can't write a long comment, most of the times it's better to not comment at all. Look for a thread about a topic where you are a specialist and answer a few of the questions. (No AI, write the answer yourself about a topic that topic that you know. Definitively not AI walls of text.)

There are certain persons who downvote at the slightest provocation or inclination. It would be impossible to tell without running analysis queries as to who and what causes such behavior. I should point out your comment is “frumpy” with a dash of “cringe”. Could it be that your comments are laced with a condescension which draws negative response?

Many times I upvote grey comments that are not offensive or extremely bad, even if I disagree.
