IMO HN CPC DID JavaScript upvoted upvotes upvote upvoting vote comment voted comments post posts
Sample Comments
that's asking for downvotes, I voted this up nonetheless.
Because it wasn't down when they upvoted it???
Because people upvoted it without leaving a comment.
Ironically, this DID get upvotes.
Whose up-voting this? That's the real question.
I actually upvoted it.. don't know what its about with all those downvotes.
what's wrong with upvoting with agreement?
For what it's worth, I upvoted you.I see no reason for the down votes.
I thought that's what the upvotes are for.
I got upvoted too, so that doesn't work for me
