You are getting downvoted for tone. By tone I mean the polarizing terms like: "cesspool of stupid opinions" and "low-thinking idiots", etc.

When social communities allow the type of tone you are using, that is precisely how they end up worse over time.

Hacker News downvoting comments like yours is how it has maintained quite high quality over the last 16 years I've been on this website.
