- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

What does +n favourability mean?
+n = the range of numbers from zero to infinity
-n = the range of numbers from negative one to negative infinity
You've explained what +n means, but not what +n favourability means.
That’s the gap between favorable and unfavorable.
Take 100 people.
60 find you favorable 40 find you unfavorable
You have a +20 favorability.
Now take 100 people
30 find you favorable 70 find you unfavorable
You have a -40 favorability.
As for the definition, “Favorable” could be just asking “would you vote for x?” Yes or No.
That part I am not 100% certain on. I am not an expert at polling.
It means your favor has increased could be it went from a favorabality of 0 to 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
JavaScript devs know it's from -0 to -Infinity
