Simple question, really. I’ve noticed a lot of posts being upvoted but seemingly getting no engagement. I’ve even watched the view count of things I’ve posted remain static despite the upvotes here.
So are bots being used to upvote posts to make them seem more popular?
Most of my comments get one singular downvote, even if they’re completely innocous. I cannot imagine a person being petty enough to manually do it, so yeah, I imagine, some bot or rogue instance is involved.
