I uploaded this post yesterday and now 24 hours later I already got 8 upvotes but only 5 downloads. So at least 3 people must have up oted my build without even trying it out, just by reading the description and looking at the pictures.
It may be because the build is a collection of figures to put in an airplane, not an actual airplane so you don't have anything to fly or drive around with. May be if I had posted an actual aircraft things would be the other way round.
Still I wonder...
Has this ever happened to you? Is it just a fluke or did I just enter some weird stage in the game where I get more votes from people that follow -or like- me than I get for actually building something?
It's more common than you think. Most people who upvote are not actively playing the game but they are active here on the website. And atleast a good chunk of people who download stuff don't have an account hence can't upvote. They officially don't exist if you know what I mean.
And it's easier to go through the description than download a build and test it. That's why good descriptions are important.
