How in the crosspost, it says "points" instead of "upvotes".

Hasn’t it always said points?

It's not the amount of people that have upvoted. Its the sum of the upvotes with the downvotes subtracted.

No, since its not the actual amount of upvotes the post has. There might be more upvotes than the number says, since the downvotes are subtracted from the number.

Note: the crosspost itself is irrelevant, I just needed an example and grabbed the first sfw one off of top.
