break things and don't move at all

edit: lmao, so many upvotes yet my comment has been moved so low. No more snark than a loving brother would provide. TY for your attention to this matter

I generally downvote jokes, even the clever ones, because I don't come here for that (reddit is generally more fun for that; even though many are low effort, there are many that are just so clever), and I'm mainly interested in thoughtful prose and discussion. (Which sometimes is hard to come by here, too, but jokes are obviously not it.)

Probably what's happened is you ended up with a lot of upvotes, but also a lot of downvotes. I would expect HN's software to downrank "controversial" posts, since those are likely to lead to flamewars. So even if you see +30 on your comment, the overall tallies might be something along the lines of +100 -70.

Addition of the last phrase had truly the worst impact; Drumpf meme was not well-timed/placed
