It’s no secret that upvotes can be purchased. However Reddit themselves as well as most subreddits have a rule against this.

However. As I’m sure you’ve noticed. Tons of models use upvote bots.

Like 100 upvotes in less than 8 minutes. When the sub they posted on has 24 active users.

This immediately pushes these posts to the “hot” section of whatever sub they’re posted on. And they’re literally impossible to overthrow.

Reddit doesn’t do anything no matter how many times I report. Neither do any mods.

Ugh. I’m so tired of this. How can we compete with people who can afford to dump $100-$500 a day on upvote bots?

I’ve taken to flat out commenting “obviously using an upvote bot” on these posts. No model ever replies. Cus there’s no model.

Quick edit: this post is not intended to make those who worked hard to build a huge following-feel targeted or attacked. Those who are can authentically accumulate upvotes like this. I’m very happy people have found success and wish those people absolutely nothing but the best.

However. Some people be faking their success. And it’s the big ol’ fakers that I’m upset about.

If you had to work your booty off to gain a following like that- why do others get a shortcut. Ya know?
