Number of down- and upvotes
In the text it is said that the inital reddit thread gained "over 37,000 up votes from users (but also over 32,000 down votes)". I question the source of this statement as reddit doesn't count the exact individual amount of up- and downvotes. In reddit's FAQ () it says:
"How is a submission's score determined?
A submission's score is simply the number of upvotes minus the number of downvotes. If five users like the submission and three users don't it will have a score of 2. Please note that the vote numbers are not 'real' numbers, they have been 'fuzzed' to prevent spam bots etc. So taking the above example, if five users upvoted the submission, and three users downvote it, the upvote/downvote numbers may say 23 upvotes and 21 downvotes, or 12 upvotes, and 10 downvotes. The points score is correct, but the vote totals are 'fuzzed'. " --134.130.112.109 (talk) 14:46, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
