I see this same phenomenon on reddit. Topic with 30 upvotes, top comments with order of magnitude more upvotes.
I think people open topics in a new tab, engage with comments then forget to upvote the topic itself.
The difference is that on Reddit you're not giving any monetary value with the upvote's action, which is even worse.
