    If you are speaking of the needle position on the dial thingy, I believe it’s just the default until you vote, not meant to indicate anything (though it’s misleading). You have to vote to see actual results.

      Ah, ok. What a strange default. Almost makes me think they chose that as the default to be rage bait

        There’s no real entity auditing it so it could be the site itself fishing for a reaction. Kinda like reddit votes nowadays ;).
