    Because there’s no way they’ll manipulate that number in the database.

      Could we theoretically pay reddit for API access and log / monitor any changes to the vote counts that way ?

        I think it’s still free till the 1rst of July, so, if someone has experience they could do something like that

        There are actually some legit anti-spam reasons that reddit has been obfuscating vote counts and totals for a long time now. Even if this wasn’t a known phenomenon, I don’t think I’d trust the API call results anyway.

      Actually that’s a really good point, and I should have thought of that because I’m actually a programmer lol
