| Aug 14, 2018 at 13:48 | comment | added | Andrew T. | Due to some initial high upvotes, that question got into the Hot Network Questions that is shown on the right sidebar of all SE sites and thus it got more attention. Most users coming from HNQ can only upvote due to association rep. bonus, but cannot downvote, thus skewing the votes more. | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:49 | comment | added | damadam | Okay now I understand, I was feared to ask too obvious question because of my first on SO : stackoverflow.com/questions/50511009/… (but that guy which said me "Get a book" removed his comment, not the downvote) | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:43 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | " if tomorrow I ask a question like "How to open a file with Libreoffice in command line..." No your question would of got almost 30 up votes askubuntu.com/questions/659741/… | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:40 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | The people who told you that are idiots, this is a problem with SO and is related to its size but it is not a accepted thing to do here, this site is much smaller and focused. People come here for small solutions just like that question and vote them up because they are useful to them, look here and see the most voted questions: askubuntu.com/questions?sort=votes | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:33 | comment | added | damadam | @MarkKirby i got sometimes reply like "Get a book" or something of same type on SO for something less obvious, that's why I don't understand; if tomorrow I ask a question like "How to open a file with Libreoffice in command line", will it be downvoted because too obvious, or upvoted because people know the answer? | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:29 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | More people understand the simple stuff and can make use of it, so it is more popular. If you are answering obscure questions that are hard to understand, less people will be interested. Never tell people RTFM, that is just sillyin the context of a site like this that is supposed to help people by answering their questions. | |
