Sep 13, 2017 at 23:50 comment added IDrinkandIKnowThings @Tim yes and the votes help get people incentivized to answer. Especially when they happen earlier. I am not saying they are the key but you arent getting to the HNQ with out some votes for the question either.

Sep 13, 2017 at 19:29 comment added Masked Man @FrankFYC In addition, when reviewing a question in the close votes queue, people like me are likely to be an extra bit careful in casting close votes if the question has a score of +5 rather than -2. This doesn't mean I blindly close downvoted questions without thinking, just that I don't ask myself, "are you sure?" before casting the vote.
Sep 13, 2017 at 18:04 comment added IDrinkandIKnowThings It just means people who already support your asking the question in the first place. All votes are not equal they just have the same score value. those first early votes can help launch the question to the HNQ.
