I was browsing conspiracy earlier and I liked a post, and later on I went into the comments and I noticed that on the post itself, the upvote arrow wasn't highlighted – as if earlier I hadn't upvoted it.
(Funny enough, the comment to which I initially replied was jokingly/sarcastically asking "Who is downvoting this post?"
Thinking that maybe I didn't upvote it earlier, as I had thought, I upvoted it again – only to come back later and find that, again, it was as if I hadn't upvoted the post.
I don't know if maybe this is some glitch, or if it's some kind of fuckery – which wouldn't surprise me, considering commonplace shadow bans, and seeing as how often my comments are deleted without my knowledge.
Has anyone else experienced this?

SS: I think Reddit might be deleting or hiding upvotes.
Good post. It’s already getting astroturfed downvoted
Everyone should test out this on random post on this sub(preferably ones without much interaction) and see if you get the same results
Just go around upvoting random post keep track of what you upvoted and see if the arrow is removed hours later
Ya think?
I got a thread with 0 but like 10 upvotes on the SS. Interesting.
They dont even have to hide your upvote. They work with weights. If they dont like a sub even if 1 million people upvote a post it would only show as having 23 upvotes on Reddit.
If they love a sub like all the anti-trump hate subs even just 8 upvotes will look like thousands of people upvoted it.
Its literally facism like the Nazis could not have done it better and fraud and the Reddit admins are just lucky they are not in jail yet.
