Bud, I don't know how to tell you this, but this episode was written 23 years ago.

I think you are ultimately overthinking this. There's not a prize for having a bunch of upvotes and there's not really a reason for it to be public knowledge. Think of it as closer to "kudos" or "good episode"

The author can upvote their own post, but again, there's not a prize for having a bunch of upvotes, so it doesn't matter.
