- jfk13 6y agoI have the impression that submission votes only count half of what comment votes count, or something along those lines.
- Tomte 6y agoIt's certainly not just a factor. The first twenty upvotes count more than, say, the 501st through 520th upvote.
- dang 6y agoEarlier upvotes are more impactful in getting a post on the front page and in affecting its rank (because the rank algorithm uses time decay), but they don't count any differently towards karma.
- eslaught 6y agoIs there really no delay, or anything else going on? I'm sure I've seen my upvote count be out of sync with the changes I see on my scores for recent comments.
