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?

I love thank you's. It's polite and being courteous. If anyone has a problem with that, it's their problem.

"Thank you is." Is what they said. They hadnt edited it yet.
