It seems especially egregious on smaller subs.
Some of the technical subs I browse have *very* low participation, and they're trying to fool me into thinking 5~10 people have upvoted *while I'm reading the thread*.
When a thread gets "more upvotes" than the sub it's in has had posts *all month*, it's immediately apparent it's being manipulated and it's absolutely maddening.
I'm *already* engaging with the post?
What purpose is this intended to serve?
I'd actually really love it if someone chimed in with what their thought process for this was.
There's nothing here!
