Because currently, it seems like the only thing it’s recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation.
Also, I have a very fragile ego and my -6 reputation hurts a bit.

Yes. In Facebook you could always upvote yourself. I used to always do it when putting the word out about volunteer opportunities where I worked. Not sure if it truly helped but it felt good when the post began with a +2. Not sure if that’s something that still can happen there. I’ve not used FB for much in the past 6 years.
