Yes, I almost always look at heavily downvoated comments, unless it's just a back and forth rant between two people.
If I feel a downvoated comment really adds to a discussion and isn't just false information, I usually give an upvoat even if I don't agree with the comment.

I follow this same policy.

For sure, especially because I've been on the downvoat end before.

I always look at the downvoted comments, but I rarely upvote them because I generally find them to be things that should have been downvoted, like spam or something that adds nothing to the discussion.

Same. I upvoat heavily downvoated comments less than 10% of the time.
