    If later text shows that my initial reading was incorrect due to missing context or because I misread their starting point, yeah. For example, if something starts off sounding positive but context shows it is actually a dogwhistle I had not come across before I will go back and correct my votes. It rarely takes even a minute to fix a dozen or so in a chain.

    It isn’t so much that I think my individual votes matter, but because I don’t like knowing I gave a positive interactions with that thing.

    Same thing if I read something as a negative and find out I was wrong, gonna flip those to upvotes!
