As a general rule of thumb in sites like Reddit and HN - the quality of votes is significantly lower than the quality of comments. This is because it takes much more effort to comment, so there is a selection bias.

The two problems were the horrible UI and that at some points evaluators used te negative tags just to punish views they didn't agree with. But maybe an AI evaluator would be less biased?
