Just post The Right Opinion™ and Independent Thinkers™ from the Silicon Valley® California© will upvote you.
Be careful, sarcasm, facts, or the inconvenient truth can cause downvotes.
It is also very important, to always post in a manner which cannot insult a demographic (eg. Independent Thinkers™), unless the insulted demographic does not represent the The Right Opinion™ (eg. realists, conservatives, anti-globalists, Drumpf voters, law abiding tax paying majorities, especially males can always be insulted).
- teslabox 10y ago> Be careful, sarcasm, facts, or the inconvenient truth can cause downvotes. Is there a way to figure out a comment's ratio of upvotes to downvotes? Sometimes I see my comment's score oscillating...
- dredmorbius 10y agoNo. This is, frankly, a really annoying aspect of many commenting systems. It's among the reasons I prefer range-based voting (say 1-5 scale) rather than up/down. On the back end it's possible to do some aggregate modeling that works out, for large numbers, somewhat equivalently, but this handles thin data poorly.
