Number of down- and upvotes

[edit]

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 ([1]) 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)[reply]

This was a relatively recent change by Reddit; in the past the exact counts were displayed. -download 00:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update for 2015 and 2016?

[edit]

I'd like to suggest an update to this article, as the event occurred a fourth time in 2015 and will occur a fifth time in Feb. 2016. The company provides results information on their official website: [1] KendraHayes (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
