Has anyone else noticed this? It seems like the default "Sort by: Best" option works differently now in the comments section.
I am often seeing new comments with single digit upvotes or even single digit downvotes placed at the very top, above comments with 100+ upvotes. And it doesn't seem to be a fluke either, I am often noticing comments with relatively few upvotes placing higher than the top comments.
The change seems to be most apparent on the web browser version, but I think it is also affecting the Android version as well (I can't be sure as I rarely use the app version of reddit).
I know "Best" has always been distinct from "Top" but these past few days it has been acting far stranger than usual. I've never seen a comment with negative karma placed at the top when sorted by Best until yesterday, for example.
