The bigger the number the more the fudge. And they don't just keep it in proportion too. Most articles on the frontpage have a 66% upvote ratio.

The 66% ratio is something of a meme in Reddit meta-discussion, and has been for a year or more. (As are complaints of 'why would anyone downvote this'.)
