    Dunno why your obvious joke about the effectiveness of age verification was downvoted

          Not sure if this hack has a name, but usually once someone in a comment tree makes a joke about downvotes — e.g., clowning on an edit complaining about a downvote — rules are suspended for all comments that follow, and you can accrue lots of downvote salutes FOR FREE.

          (Maybe not my comment since I’m late to the downvote party, but here you go;)

          Edit: why the upvotes? :(

          Edit edit: 1v1 me irl

            I also got the party started by being the first to downvote myself. The first person to upvote me probably made it look like I didn’t downvote myself.

            But the second person to upvote me… Now that’s the real bastard. They made my comment seem like it deserved upvotes, and ushered in others who thought this was a comment worthy of their support.

            If I ever find out who gave me that second upvote… I’d probably be like, “huh? What second upvote? What are we even talking about?”
