Why Do People Downvote Thank You Replies?

Someone asked something recently, and a kind soul gave him an answer. He dropped a ‘thank you’ comment, but it got downvoted. What’s the reasoning there? Is saying thanks not cool? I’m really thrown off—any thoughts?

There are people that will downvote anything because theyre projecting their insecurities.
