What Does the Big Number in the Top Right of Each Post Mean?

This is the beside the time since the post was created. I cannot figure it out.

Thats the Upvote/Downvote Counter
- This is right. I just tested it.
- Ah!!! Thanks.
- Comments have it as well, not just posts
Its the amount of votes that the post has
Are you talking about the post score? Number goes up/down as people upvote or downvote, if so.
The score, or karma if we go by reddit terms
It can be a little confusing because I guess some instances or communities don't show the individual up and down vote counts so it's not always obvious the total number to the side is one subtracted from the other.
