At the moment, I have 8 upvotes (83% positive) on the grandparent, and 4 upvotes (83% positive) on my retraction. This is weird. My retraction isn’t based on anything complicated, it was a simple misreading.
It’s not that I think I have too many upvotes on the retraction, though 4 might be a little high—I think of 2 as more typical. I’m just wondering why I didn’t lose more of the upvotes on the grandparent.
I’m hoping it’s just a matter of fewer people reading a thread as it gets older.
