I've seen the phenomenon on Reddit where two identical comments will have completely polar votes. One might have -50 and the other 50.

Someone deduced that it was the time that the comment was created that mattered. If a large number of jokesters are on at one point then their up votes will create the critical mass to push the comment to the top and keep it there.

I also believe that once a post is at the top fewer people will downvote it, either because they are afraid to go against popular opinion or merely respect it and leave it as it is.

There are no comments on this comment yet.
