I noticed on my submissions is they first get a long string of upvotes (obviously most people like them), then a long string of downvotes

If you get more downvotes than upvotes, I’m pretty sure that means most people do not like them.

I don’t know which topics were yours or anything, but one suggestion is don’t be too clever in your submissions that people can’t get the joke by quickly glancing over them. If people don’t recognize the joke/pun immediately, it tends to be poorly received.
