- HonoreDB said “I didn’t know that reddit randomly alters the link karma it displays. I think the link is at >0 karma right now because on reloads it varies between -1 and +3, but I don’t know if the sign of the bias is random.” on 2012-02-01
- HonoreDB said “On further investigation, the upvotes range from 5-7 and the downvotes range from 4-6. So it seems very likely that reddit adds a random integer from -1 to 1 to both upvotes and downvotes independently on each load, and the true karma is 6-5=1.” on 2012-02-02
- HonoreDB judged this prediction right on 2012-02-02.
