It’s well known that reddit obfuscates votes on purpose. Views I have no idea.

Why? A lot of people are looking for fixes. Not many actually engage by upvoting or commenting. Seen that plenty of times on tech/help related subs

Okay let’s compare this to other platforms like YT for a second, where videos usually have a 10-100 views : 1 upvote ratio.
Reddit should have similar numbers, but this post has a 700 views/upvote ratio. This way too high and smells extremly fishy.

You’re comparing platforms’s average to something pretty specific. What do you think is the ratio for videos like “How to install Windows 10”?

Just looked at the forst 3 videos I got and the ratio is pretty much 50-100views/upvote lol

Upvotes higher than views? Considering how many lurkers there are? Considering even people who engage with a post don’t necessarily upvoter? They said 8k views, 12k upvotes. Even if those numbers are reverse, that’s an insane engagement ratio.

Where do you see 12k? The comment above does not say 12k, it says 12
