I see a lot of posts here with zero or negative total votes. I posted one just a bit ago and it went to zero pretty quickly. I don’t personally care, but it seems curious. It’s not like this is a political community or something divisive. What would make someone downvote before they even know what the song is?

    If I had to guess, it’s because they can pretty quickly fill up the “local” tab. Some people are pretty anti AI.

      Huh, could be. Now that you say that, I remember there was a thread here where someone said they always downvote AI stuff, but never read what this community was about, and once they did they thought it was a reasonable use. Maybe it’s just that kind of thing.

      It’s not just anti AI. If you care to look, the downvotes do not occur in the other AI communities on Lemmy. It’s mainly here and one of the main reasons is that people don’t understand these images are part of a game and not supposed to be art so they get downvoted pretty quickly for quality reasons. Other reasons are content, some people consider the posts to be spam (yes, they do get reported). But in general, assholes are gonna asshole.
