The actual upvotes and downvotes were not real then... Even if you got 2 million upvotes it would settle around 2,100 upvotes or so...

True, but the impact that votes have on karma has always been different from the score of posts/comments and I don't believe they changed that algorithm when they switched to "real" vote counts.

14k used to be an insane amount of upvotes. Now it’s just a Tuesday.
