How did this happen?

And more important, why is this the case?
I know you just recognized it, but since you have more experience with reddit than me, do you have any clue why this happened?

My experience with Reddit as a mod is limited. I use it just to announce my articles. I have posted this article hoping it will reach someone who is better integrated into Reddit hierarchy and can answer your questions.

All I know is I came here because this community was far more supportive and positive than a lot of the Reddit communities. Maybe I just chose terrible subreddits, but there was a lot of downvoting simply because people disagreed with you and their are some mods who are ego-tripping hardcore. It wasn't worth my time to post there, my posts trying to share insight or help people got lost in the deluge of 50 people getting angry that someone wouldn't do their homework for them everyday.
