    2000 upvotes on front page posts is what reddit had in ~2012, 2014

    They didn’t show a 1-1 Mapping of actual to displayed upvotes

      No and they started computing it differently at some point so it got a sudden jump from max 6 to 8k upvotes on the most popular posts to having 13ks in the front page frequently

      But I took that into account, my account is 13 years old on there, when stuff barely ever went in the thousands it already made me switch from 9gag to reddit

        When I started browsing reddit only the most upvoted post break to thousands. Most just hover around 500s.
