That information should appear towards the bottom of the answers, not the top. There's a defacto curation of SO answers now based on oldest answer on top, which is almost backwards. Which is a flaw of voting systems. Reddit has an analogous problem where the first person to make an widely accessible quip gets voted straight to the top, with generally a trainwreck of low effort chuckles and puns hanging off of that. If you want lots of reddit comment karma you can easily just read some popular subreddit by 'new' and make those kinds of low effort / accessible comments.
