Your own upvote on your own comment doesn’t mean anything, because every single comment starts with one upvote by default, not zero. All you’re doing is moving your comments below everyone else’s.

Sometimes I downvote my own comment just to add a little chaos.

Neither do words, or little magnetic particles lain down nicely on a polymer disc, until people decide they mean something.

I don’t think anybody decided that an upvote count of 1 means anything.

Turns out he is a knob, I'll follow his lead and downvote him too

I mean, if it makes them feel better, more power to them. I was just curious about their reason.

Well, I don't think we have decided on a standard meaning for an upvote in the first place, so we do as we like.
In the end, it's all about what makes me feel more satisfied.

I see a blue button, I press it, it goes grey, I'm happy.
