I think a kneejerk reaction to reading something wholly wrong is to assume it doesn't add to the conversation. I think we're all conditioned to see someone we don't agree with as clearly a troll taking the piss, rather than an opportunity to discuss.

For me it’s all about visibility.
I might upvote a bad comment with an amazing reply just to get the reply higher in the “Top” and “Hot” views.

What is "/=/"? supposed to mean? Do you mean ≠ (not equal)?

Yes it is an alternate way of writing ≠ that I default to when typing on mobile. Thanks for the character tho, title updated.

Usually you would use "=/=" when typing it.

But not in all the "normal" communities.
