Most Beautiful City in the World

How this was counted. Counted by distinct redditor who names a city, top-level or in a reply. Agreement without a name (“this is my answer too”) adds nothing, which costs Prague most: its top comment collected a string of nameless yeses. A city named only to knock it — “Barcelona is meh architecturally”, “too much graffiti in Vienna” — isn't a vote. The post asked for a specific city, so answers that aren't one (Tasmania, Bali, Madeira, Mallorca, the French Riviera, County Kerry, Lake Como) are left out; villages that people named as their answer stay. The joke answers stay too — Gary, Indiana got three votes and Paris, Texas two — because a tally records what was said, and filtering sincerity by eye is not a rule. Counted from the comments the thread's JSON returns in one page, which is fewer than the 417 Reddit reports.
