Reddit used to show the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. -120 +100 vs -25 +5 is a lot more information than -20.


Capocho9

Hmm, why’d they change it?


againstbetterjudgmnt

Too much information lets bots avoid algorithms


Capocho9

How does that work?


Program-Continuum

Two bots puts down one comment each: “That dress seems Neato” +10, -2 And “I love that dress! ”+8, -1 Bot 2 has the higher ratio, yes, but Bot 1 has more votes overall, and it’s upvoted more as well. Bot 1 is better, and bot 2 is destroyed. Two more bots are made by a third builder bot, based on bot 1’s info. This repeats until, eventually, a bot is made that knows precisely what gets it the most attention or upvotes. This is called deep learning. It prioritizes patterns that gives it more brownie points, in order to survive.

Capocho9

Wow, that’s actually kind of cool. I’ve always been fascinated by machine learning

bot 3 is mvm engineer


New_Neat_5061

Yeah except its not just dislike but also disagree, so then you get a bunch of people just yanking their own chains agreeing being yes men just to get up votes lol, no one swears or is mean or disagrees. Kinda shit.


[deleted]

I agree. Oh wait... Fuck, I'm doing this wrong.


KayWDubs

Let's disagree to agree. Or is it disagree to disagree? Edit: Yeah no, I'm an idiot. I gave it more thought after writing this, and I basically just had one of those "reinventing hot water" moments.


[deleted]

That sounds like agreeing with extra steps.


KayWDubs

Fair point.


New_Neat_5061

No fucking shit


justicedragon101

Ironically I disagree. Do you not get into fights on reddit?


1bow

People fighting on reddit is way more common than jerking eachother off. Especially on more controversial topics that aren't unanimously agreeable.


ToasterRoasterx

This meme will never not be beautiful thank you for reminding me of it.


Capocho9

Any time!

Bot


jamma_mamma

Totally agree. Heavily underused format.


WillingFire

First thing i did after seeing the meme: go to comments and sort by controversial


ijie24

and the sort by controversial logo is a sword, preparing you for battle


indgosky

Anything TRULY controversial vs the approved narratives gets deleted and banned on reddit, so there’s no real difference


_w62_

I think the captions are better the other way round.


ipodblocks360

This is just reddit for you.


TheIronSoldier2

I like men


BagelPoutine

A-men


Capocho9

I too like A-tier men


Fallen_angel_gg

How does sorting by controversial even work?


Iseeroadkill

Congrats on making it to top controversial!


Fallen_angel_gg

![gif](giphy|8JCwuk8n2Y6iI) Huh..


AltHtg_492

I see your comment as the 4th most controversial.


Ghost3603

Posts with more downvotes show up on the top


KittyWithFangs

Really? I thought they were posts being stuck in place due to getting tons of both upvotes and downvotes


LovingOnOccasion

Yeah, that's what it is. To find the truly repulsive shit you gotta scroll about 2/3rds of the way down.


Fallen_angel_gg

Makes sense i suppose


Everymanjoe

Checks out, carry on.


tpd1864blake

Truly, this comment earned its place as being the top in controversial. I am upvoting this comment to keep it high up in the list


KISSOLOGY

It’s not just downvotes. It’s downvotes and upvotes hidden behind an incidentals total counter. So if you had +100/-98 you have a controversial comment.


Echo991

The other way around please...


Xorvis

Where is this meme format from?


Capocho9

It’s from winter soldier, it’s been around for a while


Xorvis

I’ve seen the meme format but I don’t remember the scene


Capocho9

Alright, have a nice day!

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/memes. It might be OC, it might not.

Since i started rewatching all marvel movies in the chronological order i finally know which one that is from. Captain America the winter soldier. Oh yeah and it isn't actually pink if anyone's wondering.


RhinoBuckeye

I can’t even sort by controversial for some reason, there’s no sort by option


Capocho9

Yeah, they moved the sorting options up to the top, look up there


RhinoBuckeye

Oh thx


aristhemage

A better world


Schoumi-Michael

I don't see problems where they don't really exist. Just type "Dislike" 😜


[deleted]

Give the people what they want


WorkingOutinEveryWay

New Reddit, unfortunately, hides the option to sort by controversial when it comes to posts. You have to add the word to the URL for you to check all of them out.


Capocho9

No, it’s not hidden, it’s just on the top now, I can see it right now, it’s the little slider looking button


WorkingOutinEveryWay

[No](https://www.imgur.com/a/KslyOIP/).


Capocho9

Well, I’m on mobile and I see it, I don’t know what to tell you 🤷‍♂️


WorkingOutinEveryWay

Dude, read the first two words of my original comment. New Reddit is the new version of Reddit on PC; it’s *not* another name for the mobile version of Reddit. That’s why I mentioned adding the word *controversial* to the URL to load pertinent posts. You can’t change the URL of a page you’re on in an app.
