The new comment system where votes next to comment aren't shown anymore is quite interesting. Over the course of a day my comment received about 10 up-votes and now an equal amount of down-votes.
My comment was the first to comment made on this post and in the first two hours or so my comment received all it's up-votes. Then, slowly over the next 24 hours it began to sink.
I think the reason my comment received the down votes is because over time more elaborate comments where made that made my comment look more and more insignificant and out of place.
Now I don't think my comment was great and deserved any up-votes what so ever, but it's interesting to see how not showing the votes next to a comment makes such a huge difference and I don't believe my comment would have been down-voted if the 10 up-votes would have been shown next to it.
