I didn't downvote, but you link to a comment by yourself that isn't much longer and links to a blog post by yourself, and you already made a comment with basically the same content elsewhere in the thread. That's close enough to spammy self-promotion to get you downvoted irrespective of whether people agree with you
The newer coment is one hour after the older one. I made it after I was downvoted. As for the spammy self-promotion, thank you, I linked to a HN comment (made yesterday, relevant to the matter but with no reactions at that moment) instead of the blog post directly exactly because I don't want to replicate links. Finally, while these comments will fade from attention, if not already, that blog post will remain, excuse me for giving first some evidence that's something wrong with Google Scholar. Obviously spam.
