That’s what they do. It’s how HN works. I’m pretty sure pg said that a while ago. You can write a reply if you want to engage, you don’t have to. You can downvote or not if you disagree, that’s up to you.

Downvoting is engaging - in my opinion,
just incompletely - if nobody else has replied yet enumerating your dissenting viewpoint.
