Yoghurt on a Stick Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Regarding down votes - I used to be in a competition with one of my mates to see how many down votes we could get on the Daily Mail on line website. He eventually dropped out of the competition, but I am happy to say that I have persevered. There's nothing quite so satisfying as enraging a Daily Mail reader - or two! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously aimed at @eFestivals, is there a reason for the limit on daily upvotes? Maybe I've just got too used to being on Facebook all day and other sites which don't limit reactions, but when I see a clever or funny comment I really want to show it some love but with only about 3 a day I usually can't after lunch. Is there any way it could be raised, maybe a little benefit for gold subscribers? And yeah, I know, first world problems and everything, but if you don't ask you don't get. I'm not on facebook, so I find the whole liking and unliking comments things weird. It's useful on these boards as a way of gauging if someones reasonably trustworthy or a bit of a dick, but I can't help thinking of that ep of Black Mirror when I'm up or down voting people! I feel a bit lazy doing it too, but I still do it, so I'm a big hypocrite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have you drawn that specific conclusion? Why can't you see the differential whereby providing an opposing prospective on that site will, by it's 'alternative' nature be red arrowed. Are you suggesting that I stop providing the Daily Mail readers with an alternative point of view? Yes, I'll grant you that it started as a competition - and that I have carried on in the same vein as the way that that competition went. However, the nitty gritty detail of my input (and my mates previous input) is to provide, to my mind, a more reasoned, more humane, view point. That I get satisfaction from being red arrowed for this is particular to me, and not, to my mind, relatable to a troll. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is indeed an exercise in pissing in the wind. However, there may be some people who just gobble up the Daily Mail's view points as actual fact, without thinking. If they read my (and others) alternative stance, then it might provide them with a less narrowed perspective. I suppose that, technically, it's a waste of my limited time on this planet, but if that were to be completely true, then so would me, you, and everybody else posting here, be guilty of wasting our precious time.

Yeah, I'd happily admit to just going on there to antagonise them. I don't, but only because I have a rule about never visiting the Daily Mail, Sun or Express websites because I know they make ad revenue from every visit.
