You "triggered" far more upvotes than downvotes, which is one reason why the site guidelines ask people not to go on about downvotes like this. Would you please review them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Well I admit the trend changed but I got a series of downvotes following my comment, I made this comment then when I had actually received way more downvotes than upvotes

For sure; that's how this typically happens. It's one reason why the guidelines ask you not to post such comments about voting. Vote totals fluctuate. When users see an unfairly downvoted comment, they often give corrective upvotes. Then the comment goes back into positive territory, but a post like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20057244 lingers on, orphaned and inaccurate.
