- joemi 5y agoThis makes perfect sense given that humans voting is involved and humans are not always consistent.
- marcodiego 5y agoYes. I'm stating with some surprise. Not complaining.
- anyfactor 5y agoThere is an element of randomness for sure. A post or thread will become popular based on the timing and the first interactions and comments. Maybe your timing was off. Also that is why I try my best to always comment in positive notes whenever I am the first person there. Even though it is easy to sound smart when you are being cynical but trying to see the positive sides may hep an OP feel good for the day :)
