My observation on my own comments has been that most of them level out at a lower number, say 2-4 when they might have hit 8-10 eariler.
But there are some outliers that are getting voted much higher than they honestly deserve. I'm talking 50-70 range for something that would have been 8-10 before.
I think people might be seeing comments that contribute to the conversation in some useful way and are now upvoting them when they would have let them cap out at a medium score, if they could see the score.
They have no way to know the comment is already considerably over-upvoted.
I mean, thanks for the karma and all, but I don't know that it's really helping.
