What is the +3 next to the comment count?

I’ve seen this recently and have been wondering. My guess was that I’ve upvoted this user three other times but that’s probably way off.

I think it means there have been 3 new comments either since your upvote or your last viewing of the post.

No problem. Glad I could help!

I found this confusing (as did the op). Maybe instead of using the plus icon and making it stand out, it could just be 41 (3 new).
