Since comments start with a small upvote from the commenter themselves—which for Ajeya has a strength of 1—a single strong downvote, to take her comment down to −16, would actually have to have a strength of 17.
I strong-disagreed on it when it was already at −7 or so, so I think it was just me and another person strongly disagreeing. I expected other people would vote it up again (and didn’t expect anything like consensus in the direction I voted).
Note I was at −16 with one vote, and only 3 people have voted so far. So it’s a lot due to the karma-weight of the first disagreer.

That is, quite literally, off the scale.
This is about the agreement karma, though, which starts at 0.
Oh, I see.
