Why is the amount of upvotes less than the upvotes delivered?

Sometimes, you may notice that the number of upvotes displayed on your Reddit post or comment is less than the total upvotes you ordered through CrowdReply. This can happen for several reasons:

1. Reddit’s Vote Fuzzing

Reddit intentionally hides the real upvote/downvote count to prevent manipulation. The number you see is often not the exact number of upvotes received.

2. Filtered or Discounted Votes

Reddit’s anti-spam systems can filter out some upvotes if suspicious activity is detected.

3. Failed Upvotes

In some cases, we might not be able to deliver all upvotes due to technical issues or Reddit limitations. Any upvotes that could not be delivered will be visible in the "Failed Upvotes" section of the task. You won't be charged for the failed upvotes that show up.

4. Downvotes by Other Real Users

If other Reddit users downvote your post or comment, the total upvotes shown will be reduced by the number of downvotes received. For example, if you received 20 upvotes and 5 downvotes, the score would display as 15.
