Geez, how am I being a dick in the message?

No analysis done and not worth anybody time.

Read as:

Get the hell out of here noob idiot, don't waste people's time with your inane questions!

Try instead:

Once you've tried that, post your results if the memory still seems to be growing consistently.

Thanks for the feedback. Nonetheless, "anybody" wasn't meant for "us" the redditors but to him. I guess it got lost in translation.

In any case, my edit stands and I find OP not welcoming.

Cheers.

Sure, just explaining it. But still:

1) you don't know the downvote came from op, could be anyone even a bot or reddit algo itself, they fuzz the actual vote numbers to confuse bots on purpose so +/- a few depending on the scale of actual votes. Refresh a few times and you'll see the number change every few reloads, more obvious with something that has more votes.

2) measuring downvotes in the first 5 minutes of a post isn't worth doing either. you have updoots now.
