all these kind of weird comments I make as an attempt of being critical ofthen get downvoted. I don't understand why but the outcome is I make less of them and think twice before posting (I probably shouldn't post this, but meh, this is public self-introspection).

My take away is that I should somehow make them better but I don't understand why some get downvotes.

maybe I make big and unjustified logical jumps? maybe I'm to paranoid? in any case I think way too much...

some examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21851332 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21536936 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20175491 (this is a taboo topic, always thread carefuly near those)

and one in which I did 'it' correctly, but it took like 20 minutes to write: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20991015

another "good" one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18603793
