What if the barrages of upvotes are are seeing in posts, are just the setup for the punchline that is a new user getting almost exactly the number of upvotes they need to get privileges on their very first post outside of v/pizzagate: (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7206936))
Or an account (https://voat.co/user/tzitzimitl/comments?page=15)) from 1.3 years ago that only posted for the first time a week before reddit banned pizzage, (1 month ago) getting 170 upvotes in less than 4 hours (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7206941)). Only to be replied to by a 21 day account that got 55 votes for (https://voat.co/v/whatever/1484385/7207361)) this little bit of fallacy.
Look through that thread if you need more proof of the folowing claim, its everywhere.
We are getting mindfucked hard right now. Fullblown psyop bullshit. These big posts with all the up/downvotes are simply a 'loud noise' to get everyone looking. The real purpose is to get these sleeper accounts and their 21 day old pals up to voting rights, and theyre setting up strawmen (in the form of the most offensive posts they can manage) for the sleepers to knock down, so we all start chanting "one of us, one of us," ect.
Last time I posted on this topic, I begged you guys not to go witch hunting. Today I'm telling you I don't really care what you do. We are too nice here, and we are going to lose our digital refuge again as a result.
Whatever the next site is that we all meet up on someday, just remember not to make that mistake again. Downvotes are there to keep the scum out.
Goddamn if this isn't a metaphor for the USA...

If anyone is doing that they are completely tarded. It's really pretty easy to get 100+ CCP just posting comments. What you are suggesting would make it harder, creates several steps which aren't needed.

But it could be automated, and well disguised. The people that sell upvotes arent manually entering the logins for each account and clicking the arrow, they just script it. Problem is, without cover, scripting is highly observable. So they cover their subtle scrips with far more blatant scipts, and most of the population doesn't blink.

If their goal is to create accounts which have VOATing rights all of that is not only unneeded, it draws attention to the entire process. You're suggesting that they spent money on bots which undermine their secret. If they are doing that they are world class stupid.

My guess is they focussed bot-platform-development on reddit and their bot-platform isn't that easily changed to Voat with different algorithms. That's why it's easy to spot. In time they will fix those flaws. So kick them off asap.
