u/Mattnic379, the downvotes are mysterious!

Lmao that thread is gold
I fear light mode redditors
i do think the downvotes are totally unwarranted (unfortunately there's a bit of people into pokemon grading that are troglodytes) but it's probably because when you're interested in the hobby it should be pretty obvious the card is fake

yeah it's a really toxic scene. i'm just stating what i believe caused the downvotes, i agree with you
If new people get in to the “hobby” then their “hobby” might actually become a game enjoyed by the target audience instead of an investment battle royale in target isles for 30 year old men.
I can't even be interested in this hobby rn I wouldn't want other people to get dragged into this heck with me LOL
well tbh it’s a thing your start as a kid or you don’t lol

I would also add:
They commited a Reddit faux pas by hickjacking the top comment to ask an unrelated question.
It's a lazy question that makes it obvious they haven't taken a few seconds to either Google the card or scroll down the post to see what the original card looks like.
I've been on reddit long enough to know everyone is too lazy to look up anything. There's subs dedicated to answering questions that could be easily solved with a five minute search.
Sure. But outside of subs where they are welcome, lazy questions very often get downvoted.
worded better than me lol it’s exactly this not mysterious at all

This submission has been removed.
Rule 6: Participate in good faith.
No disrespectful conduct is allowed. Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. This includes but is not limited to personal attacks, comments that demean a specific user or groups of users, bullying and unwanted remarks. Inappropriate comments will be removed and are subjected to consequences.
Generally, on PokemonTCG subs people prefer you to at least try to get some info yourself first. Even with this stance the googlable questions show up very often.
Simple google search of this card shows it looks nothing like the pattern on the photo, hence the downvotes.
He got punished by the common redditors
For asking a simple question on reddit
i think it’s because op has already established that it’s fake. the point of the post is to determine best practice for what to do with a fake card. this guys in the wrong conversation asking them to teach him how to identify a fake card. and he is clearly not a big fan cause he doesn’t even know the card, so they probably very much see it as a big waste of time bothering to explain it to this guy. not mysterious at all imo buddy just couldn’t read the room
Well from what I'm seeing they knew it was fake already because they're saying they got scammed? And surely they must be familiar with the card because they paid 255 for it.
The person who got downvoted isn’t the OP of that post, they were just asking a question and got heavily downvoted lol
oh sorry ignore me I'm stupid 🤦 thanks for pointing that out lmao
No, that's not the OP. It's a different person asking a question
No idea, but thanks for including the post, I went and upvoted them to start a compensation
