As far as I can see, the real number is already on top of the post. And then you have the split of up/downvotes near the arrows. So the "algorithm" is just basic addidion and subtraction. Someone correct me if I saw something wrong...
I think they're referring to what Reddit did with not showing them separately
I think they're actually referring to the anti vote manipulation reddit function which adds random values to vote counts (you can see it if you refresh a post that you know people aren't viewing like it's old then you can see the count change on refresh)
