Getting downvoated means your comment gets buried if you go against the circlejerk, even if you make a thoughtful well reasoned post. It means that people can get discouraged from having dissenting opinions, even if they are correct. If you had to make a comment of a certain length before downvoating, that could decrease the amount of low-effort downvoating and encourage more discussion.
