“this effect was present in all parts of the distribution”
I was curious about this when I skimmed the paper, but I couldn’t find a breakdown of the impact of the random upvotes on, say, the top 5% highest upvoted posts. Do you know where to find that breakdown or what you mean with this?

But since I don’t know what effect sizes they’re talking about at the top of the distribution, I don’t think this sentence is very informative.
