Technically the optimal way to spend your points to influence the vote outcome is to center them (i.e. have the mean be zero). In-practice this means giving a −1 to lots of posts. It doesn’t provide much of an advantage, but I vaguely remember some people saying they did it, which IMO would explain there being some very small number of negative votes on everything.
Just noticing that every post has at least one negative vote, which feels interesting for some reason.
