Honestly, it’s been wild. I’ve seen threads where a comment will go from +10 to -50 in minutes, and it’s clearly vote bots doing their thing.
One thing I’ve started doing is checking the timestamps of upvotes/downvotes. If a bunch happen at the exact same time, it’s usually a red flag.
Not sure why it’s spiking now, but I’m guessing it’s tied to some big events or elections coming up. Bots always seem to ramp up around those times.
