I treat down-votes in the absence of a counter-argument as up-votes.
Good luck with that. Sounds like a great way to eventually find yourself banned.
You didn't do that. You wrote snark about downvotes.

What, you think they charge for accounts around here, or something? Why in the world would you think I haven't used other accounts before? If you made it to 600 days and haven't heard of the slow-down (whatever it's called) or hell-banning, then you haven't been paying much attention.
