Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    As far as I can see, the real number is already on top of the post. And then you have the split of up/downvotes near the arrows. So the “algorithm” is just basic addidion and subtraction. Someone correct me if I saw something wrong…

      That’s not what they mean, they’re referring to “score fuzzing”, a tactic Reddit used to combat vote manipulation. The number you see on a post or comment isn’t the actual number, it’s been fudged a little.

      I think they’re referring to what Reddit did with not showing them separately

        I think they’re actually referring to the anti vote manipulation reddit function which adds random values to vote counts (you can see it if you refresh a post that you know people aren’t viewing like it’s old then you can see the count change on refresh)
