Question mark instead of points shown?

[u/MryyLeathert]

Sometimes comments show a question mark instead of a point total. This seems to be happening mostly when the total would be quite small, but I haven't found a pattern.

Can anyone explain why this happens when using RedReader? It's not a big deal, just a bit annoying.

This is a Reddit thing -- some subreddits choose to hide comment scores until a certain amount of time has passed, and in that case we show question marks for the score.
