Saw this a lot on Reddit. Its not specific to here, just trying to gauge how people think. I’d see people posting about how “X said this! Have you seen what else they said in their site history?” And a stream of votebombing would happen.
I also wonder if this behaviour went the other way. Bias was confirmed, so profiles get a little boost? There are sites that hide posts and comments after a certain number of downvotes, but these always seemed to get the engagement even after.
Because people like OP end up stalking you and downvote everything you post.
But downvotes are fake and there is no karma. Who cares if someone is downvoted?
A) I dont do that, please do not suggest that B) I’m trying to establish what someone gains from such behaviour. Otherwise you cant counter it. This is part of the reason people leave Reddit and other sites.
