I think I said something a bit stronger than what I meant. I'm not averse to sharing my thoughts on posts, I've just never held it against a post if the OP happens to not provide some comment containing their thoughts on it.
I do see what you're saying about not knowing what something is, and not wanting to spend ~1 hour on it to find out. Though I still don't think that's what downvoting is for (unless you have positive evidence that it's spam).
Mainly I disagree with "I'll downvote it to make room for the posts that are definitely good". That's just very much not my philosophy and not one I ever took to be a majority view. Downvoting for me means the content is not good/appropriate/whatever. It's a sign of negativity, and being not definitely good != being bad.
