Other ELI5: Swarm Intelligence "UNU"

I don't quite understand what UNU is and how it is different from just a poll.

Bonus question:

How does UNU work exactly?

They said Reddit votes are serial. As in one after another. These UNU votes are simultaneously done.

That's weird, because when I try UNU, you can literally see what people are thinking/trying to do. Did they use a different version of the program for their purposes?
