Curious why some of these posts are downgraded? Is that to be considered a rating of the company? Dislike for the advert because it misses some details expected? Etc

Would be good if the downgraders left a comment explaining.

Sometimes it’s because of a company’s bad reputation, other times simply because they never follow up. I’ve noticed a lot of the same posts showing up month after month, with people complaining that companies don’t respond. That makes it look like some companies are just collecting information.

As for the downvoted posts, if you check the profile, you’ll often see the same one being reposted every month, sometimes going back two years.
