    Remember the airbrake-laden plane that got too many upvotes and caused a whole ton of drama?
    .
    This means that upvotes =/= quality. The airbrake-laden plane’s popularity rose because some user decided to post a forum post telling people to upvote the plane, and the ensuing drama surrounding it. This is popularity by drama and hopping on the bandwagon. Other factors include it’s usability (e.g. the plane it’s the most upvotes), flexibility, et cetera. The beaver boat is a cute boat from the us navy and is well known, hence the more upvotes. Being featured also gives the plane upvotes, since it makes the plane well-known.

    @MilotPario quality does not equal upvotes. Many factors, from screenshots, descriptions, publisher, time of day published, time since published, teasers, lucky spotlights, comedic value, playability, and more go into how many upvotes you will get.
    some posts get an unfair number of upvotes. just take the German Corsair for example. also mobile players are what drive the website. mobile friendly posts just do better.

    @Wibbley I agree. Whenever I go to the hottest sections, I always look for the most unique stuff to upvote. I am a bit bored with replicas that have thousands of parts and can rarely be used in the game due to the part count....

    I have 52 upvotes for a meme craft of 61 parts that I built in half an hour, and much less for non-meme crafts of 350+ parts, I also saw a lot of crafts made of a very small number of parts, but they were amazing and so cool, funny and unusual that the hand itself reaches for the "upvote" button.
    I think this is because not everyone is interested only in airplanes, ships or tanks, well, or whatever else they build, but everyone loves something funny or very unusual, exploding the brain. The idea itself is important here, not how many parts the craft consists of. Of course, the crafts out of thousands parts are incredibly cool, realistic, but, unfortunately, not unique.
    P.S I hope that some spell is not written here at the call of Satan, since it is not always possible to rely on the Google translator

    The main reason is its unique, other reasons why is because its part count and its rarity

    I this case, the 2600 part build is much higher quality than the 350 part. It kinda does matter @DerVito

    the number of parts doesn't matter.

    Well... I think it largely depends on what people like? I often post stuff that you could say only a minority of people in the SP site like and at the first few days, it gets only 10-20 upvotes. But overtime, people will find things that they are interested in and that's when new spotlights come in and the build gets upvoted again. Well, in my case at least.

    More parts =/= good
    Crafts with less parts run better, and allow more people to play with them, or to play on higher graphics settings. Also, your post has only been up for 8 hours, as opposed to the other one's 8 months. People are also more likely to go and upvote things that are new or unique instead of things that have been done before.
