Nah that went away with the advent of the "proportional" scoring or whatever bullshit they called it like 10 years ago

It was ostensibly to make it harder for advertisers to game their own posts (similar to not showing you your own posts' scores for a set period after creation), but like everything else on that site, it's turned into some bullshit activist mods and admins use to keep things their corporate overlords don't like from gaining too much traction.
