Yeah apparently I am an awful person!

My review for Nyan Cat: Lost in Space reached for the stars. As in, it approached one, burnt up, and turned into ashes. It now has over 200 people voting it as a "Not Helpful" review, because it's pretty damn obvious what it was going for. As a matter of fact, the review couldn't handle that many downvotes, that people started to go to my profile and downvote my other crappy reviews as well! Don't you just love how society works?

Also this thread probably won't last that long, so here is a giveaway that lasts for about a day as of this post.

So what reviews have you made that is Old Shame to you?

In general, it's pretty great!
It's like laddle of cancer.
It depends on the game.
I only go there to read joke reviews.
Dank meme choice.

An additional 100 downvotes in 4 hours, making it 300+ downvotes guys. Stay classy!

Well, to be fair, you didn't say anything about the game itself at all....which is probably why it's down-rated so badly. I feel like the ratings are justified.

Yeah it's almost like it's a joke review.

Worse, it's the second review on the page so it's taking the place of actual useful purchasing advice.

I wouldn't really call this a helpful review, but I thought it was pretty funny that's for sure.

"people started to [] downvote my other [] reviews"
They don't follow you, so you'll (probably) be save in the future.

In recent months I was getting the feeling that the larger part of the Steam user base is getting really sick and fed up with the joke reviews that practically have nothing to do with the game itself; especially if it is on the featured reviews section of the game, and helps them exactly none deciding whether to purchase it or not.
Sure, many kids still upvote anything with a meme in it, but now finally these ones don't have 80-90% upvotes, and in some cases slowly getting edged out of the featured ones.

Apart from that, yes, review section can be cancerous. It is almost downright frightening that there really are some people who just go through every one of a person's reviews just to downvote them, even if it takes some decent time and effort.
And when some unknown person on your friend list starts that… well, at least in those cases you know it is time for another purge. :)
