I don't understand why I got 10 downvotes on this one. What is the matter with this comment? What am I missing here?

This comment adds no value and doesn't drive interesting discussion forward.

Reddit norms don't apply here. If you have a low effort comment, just keep it in your head.

I'd guess that it is because people don't like reddit/4chan/meme type of comments here.

HN will heavily downvote anything that (1) is a short, cheap joke, or (2) smells like reddit.
