How many times a day is this phrase written in Hacker News?
How many times is it found on reddit?
The poster, in this specific case is not being downvoted.
The issue I think is understanding about how commenters and viewers use HN and reddit and upvote and downvote over time. If you understand this process you will no longer want to write "I don't know why" because you will understand the process.
I hope more people would understand the voting processes of these various discussion forums.
The poster was actually heavily downvoted, until I mentioned this, and now it isn't anymore.
I almost never complain about downvotes (as mentioned in HN guidelines), yet felt that there was a misunderstanding and a lack of full perception of the implications of what the downvoted message conveyed.
Truth is (again, as someone who is privacy-sensitive, and running a EU SaaS) this is going to be complicated to run an international SaaS, as a bootstrapper.
So was the actual comment "I do understand why you are being downvoted, and I disagree with the reasons" or "I do not understand why you are being downvoted?"
