I suspect there's a bunch of astroturf accounts posting in some /v/ somewhere to build up to 100 karma, so they can do this.
I have 10 points before I'm allowed to downvote. We need to liberally upvote in this /v/ so we can have enough people that can fight back against downvote-bombings. I will continue to upvoat all non-shill posts I find.
Yeah if you manage 100 accounts even on day 1 you can get 10 of them downvoat eligible. The growth is exponential from there because the first 10 accounts get extra upvoats. After day 2 you could have 29 accounts abke to downvoat, could basically get the rest of them there on day 3, and that's if you were just using the original 100 accounts and not cranking out new ones every day.
And I'm not saying people do this manually, you can write a program for it then tell multiple accounts to 'follow' the upvoats of an account or to upvote all from whichever accounts you were trying to push that day.

I've been upvoating like crazy in here. I just got my downvoat ability a couple days ago.
