+Votes are created the following ways:
+
+- During the Referral release, each currently-premium user will be given 1 feature vote.
+- Whenever a user signs up for Premium that hasn't signed up for Premium before, they are given 1 feature vote.
+- Whenever a user that was referred by another user signs up for Premium for the first time,
+  - the user that referred that user is given 2 additional feature votes
+  - the user that signed up for Premium is given an additional feature vote (2 in total)
+
+Votes are never destroyed/deleted, even when cancelling a Premium subscription. They are only ever "used" when voting, and can
+only be used once per vote.
