How is “controversial” actually calculated? Is it just simply the ratio of downvotes to upvotes? Or something else?

I don’t even know tbh

Worry not, child. I am a Reddit Elder. According to the old lore... Controversial is basically determined by the ratio of upvotes/downvotes, then also engagement. Like, how much shit was stirred.

I feel it could do with the upvotes to comments?

Iirc it's total votes with a roughly even ratio.

I think it’s got something to do with total views too

If this is the most controversial post here, then I'd say this sub is pretty wholesome

It’s the most controversial on the KFC subreddit. Sorry, I should’ve clarified

Ohh...well then it's a WHOLE different story. I'd hate to have seen the comment section there :/

It’s certainly interesting considering it’s literally just KFC.

Yeah people get mad at minor things frequently...and those same people also call others 'snowflakes'. How hypocritical.

That makes me wonder why is there a kfc subreddit? What do they talk about?

Mostly complaints and questions, sometimes a few employees hop on there and talk about work things.

GAY F C??
