> ffs, Do the downvotes mean "obviously there is" or "obviously there isn't"?

Downvotes on HN are handed out like candy to mean anything. Some people think obviously there is, and so downvote, others will think there isn't and downvote. Others think this is a stupid idea and will downvote. Others might think it's a good idea but disagree with the way you framed to the question

I wouldn't really worry too much about the votes here. They mean nothing.

I predict I will get downvoted on this comment, I don't know what it's meant to signify.
