Sometimes the disagrees make no sense here on N4G

We all have opinions: I like the color green, I don't like raisins, I think LBP2 is a great game. There would be a ton of people agreeing with me, or disagreeing with me on these three points; I understand opinion. You can't change it, and your opinion isn't fact to others and vise versa. I comment on a select few of articles and such every few days, and follow all the gaming info on the site. As you know the site has a lot of things you can do to express how you feel about comments: You can bubble it up for a particular reason or bubble it down, and the most common and well known feature is the ability to see the Agree and the Disagree buttons also - pertaining to what the comment is about.

Now riddle me this: When I reply to a user telling him FACTUAL data, such as a release day: Why in the world is my comment disliked? I've been disliked by either one or 3 (or more) people regarding my FACTUAL statement, that I know to be true (as well as many other people do too). Is it because people don't want that date to come or are they just disliking for some other bizarre reason? Or is this action to save the world - I wonder?! This is a bit of a rant, but I seriously don't get why people disagree with factual comments I make - as well as many other users on here who make factual comments: what's with all the dislikes? I can't wrap my head over this.

It's not gonna pop a vein with me or anything; I just find this really funny. If you want to disagree with an opinion - it makes sense: but how do you disagree with what is fact? We could go into a big philosophical conversation I suppose on how you define things, but saying something as simple as, "The PS3 has DualShock 3 Controllers" will somehow get disagrees. I think people abuse the disagree button, and many other users can see it too. I just wanted to bring this up as something to kinda giggle about yet nod to in acknowledging such a profound action of disagreeing what we all know as fact.

Next thing you know someone disagrees with air.

Do we really need more blogs about random disagrees? People disagree for nonsensical reasons, we get it. There's nothing we can do. People mis-click, stubborn people think that the truth is something else (ex: confusing release dates), fanboys think you're implying something...

Be glad to get disagrees; if some people from the asylum didn't disagree with what you said, you might be doing something wrong.

Hufandpuf5380d ago

hm, looks like you got 8 mis-clicks.

Stops car.....Rolls down the window....
"I Disagree" speeds off with no explanation :)

Many people just disagree for the heck of it or to irritate the person. I find it really funny though when people disagree with facts

LadyGaga5380d ago

Seeing posts like "Sony is a company with four letters in their name" get 100 disagrees is kinda funny. I'll admit that I hit the disagree all the time, just for lulz.

MidnytRain5381d ago

People are stupid and that'll never change.

rezzah5380d ago

They act based on emotion, rather than thinking.

I don't like this or that about you so disagree.

Nes_Daze5380d ago

People will disagree with anything on this website, whether it is to be funny, ignorant, or just for the hell of it. The fact that some complain just fuels their... disagreeing.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
