Ask DN: Why do you downvote the message of the day?
6 years ago from Jonathan Shariat, Designer @ Google | Author @ O'Reilly | Podcaster @ DesignReview
Sometimes I see a message of the day that can be controversial or just plain sucks, but often I see an awesome one that has quite a few downvotes and it makes me scratch my head.
Why do you choose to downvote a MOTD?
For example, at the time of this post, theres a great quote: “Don’t hire a dog, and then bark yourself. – David Ogilvy” — Courtesy Surjith S. +74 / -15
20% of votes disliked it enough to downvote it. I cant see why.
Personally, I downvote when: 1. Clearly self promotion & I dont find much value 2. I completely disagree 3. Off topic & a topic outside designers main interests
