🤔 Were your votes taken away during the launch?

Question

Hello! I noticed that sometimes during launches votes are taken away, or people just take their vote back so that the product does not become the product of the day, what do you think?

Sad, but happens

Eric Büttner · Answer

Hey there! I rarely take back my votes, but I do tend to upvote quickly, often before I've had a chance to thoroughly check out the product. That said, I can't speak for everyone. 🤷‍♂️

I've seen quite a few discussions on Twitter where people mention that some products might be using bots to boost their votes. This seems to be a fairly common concern. 🤖

It's definitely crucial for the integrity of the platform to address and mitigate these issues. 🛡️

Yes, this happened to us. The algorithm seems kinda capricious. I think it tries to detect 'fake' upvotes and is over cautious, so there are many false positives.

@tuffzcom But when real people vote and the system simply does not count the votes, this is not fair.

Yes, we had a similar experience! I also had the same problem with karma points, instead of increasing sometimes they decrease! 😟

Lost my K coins though even after genuinely reviewing : (

@zaryat But it’s quite sad that during the launch they simply steal votes.

@ixord It's definitely concerning when votes from real users are removed or not counted. 😔

But, I understand that the process of identifying bots might not be 100% accurate and can sometimes result in false positives affecting real users. 🤖
