Hello! I have a question about the AITA Guesser poll results. What does it mean when the vote counts are negative? For example, I sometimes see YTA displayed as -8 or another negative number. How is it possible for the number of votes to be negative

The votes displayed are the totals of the upvotes/downvotes on the comments supporting the verdict. So for the -8 on the YTA, it means that there were 8 more downvotes than upvotes on comments that chose YTA as the verdict. I see how that’s confusing, I will look at making the graph a bit clearer
