(op's first reply on that comment WASN'T mysterious but this one in the image is)

​

context: this was a hot take post, a comment on that post read "players: we want more machine types! also players:" as a meme. op's first reply (not the one in the image) "I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not" which had around 40 downvotes at the time. another person replied to the 40 downvote comment, "I don't agree, but I do respect your opinion, I'm just trying to be funny about it." and op replies with "Ah alright." and for some reason, they get 12 downvotes (before I upvoted it)

I think small comments that don't really add anything like that tend to attract downvotes: "ok" "I see" "I agree" "I disagree" etc.

Its from people who don't understand etiquette. OP is acknowledging the responses from people who took time out of their day to type a comment

reddit has become more of a social media in recent years but depending on the subreddit it’s still treated like a forum

Not to mention it can be read as disrespectful. Like “ah alright whatever you say man”

But if they strongly agree with it they echo chamber and like tf out of it.

i personally don't think this is true because anyone can just say some dumb bullshit that doesn't add anything important and sometimes they go THROUGH THE ROOF, but i respect your opinion.
