Negative Like Count Appearing on My Game (-1 Likes Bug)

I noticed that my game’s like count is showing -1, which is already unusual on the website. Upon further inspection, I found that this value is also being returned via the API. This suggests that the problem is not just a UI bug but likely a backend issue affecting like count storage or retrieval. I’m not sure how it got into this state, but I wanted to report it in case it’s part of a broader issue or data inconsistency

game link: Pay Commission Place - Roblox
api: https://games.roproxy.com/v1/games/5843400398/votes

Expected behavior

The like count should never be negative. I expected it to be 0 or higher.

Probably a case of race condition being done (the short of it is if you like and unlike fast enough, Roblox accidentally counts the unlike twice. A better explanation can be found in this Tom Scott video)

Seems weird that someone would go to the effort of doing that to your donation/payment place though.
It’s always possible it actually is a legitimate case of the ratings getting corrupted/broken, and for something with only 110 visits that’s far more likely than someone going out of their way to deliberately do that.
