I’d like to know if there are any stats on how many votes it took/now takes to get onto the front page of r/all. This feels like it should be publicly available data…
True, but I was under the impression that was just a level of noise added. It would be interesting to know if the number of votes needed to reach the front page has dropped (in broad terms) since the API changes. I wouldn’t have thought the obfuscation would hide that?

The vote counts on Reddit aren’t real. They never have been. They use an obfuscation on the vote counts in order to deter spammers and bots.
