Rather than downvote, can someone point out why they dislike this comment?

On an article on Wittgenstein's honest and fluid thinking style, I posted something similar to what the current top comment has described as the most interesting part of W's process.

Thanks in advance.

You didn't contribute to the talk about Wittgenstein, but exclusively talked about yourself and things you do.

In addition, instead of explaining the relationship of your activities with Wittgenstein (that could have been an on-topic contribution), you ask the reader to watch recordings.

How would recommend explaining the relationship of my activities W?

Honest question, I’d love to not come across as such a moron.

Thanks for the feedback.

I hope you don’t take offense, but I would imagine some people are turned off by your self-promotion, the length of your post, and a tone that could be interpreted as pompous.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Your rhetorical style undermines the arguably prescient content of your speech.

[halfjew222]

What style would be better to use? I don’t even know what you mean by rhetorical style, apologies.

Thanks for the feedback.

You are not half as smart as you think you are and it is annoying

In what sense are you being honest with yourself if you can't put yourself in an objective enough frame of mind to see where the down-votes come from?

There’s no feedback.

I truly wouldn’t post something if I didn’t feel it was relevant so constructive feedback (as per HN guidelines) is much more useful than silent downvotes.
