localpost4139225dI guess that's one way to get a hit list of usernames.
maybe you accidentally used a keyword they're looking for in that rant -
electrineer30343225dI was thinking they would do certain actions to mimic real users, but @localpost's explanation sounds more likely.
The rant didn't mention .t3d or any other obvious keyword though. -
electrineer30343225dI don't think it's necessarily a keyword but someone might manually trigger which post gets the upvotes.
Or do the thing manually. It doesn't look like it's necessarily even scripted. -
electrineer30343225d@wojtek322 someone could take a look into those profiles and see if there are patterns in the ++ tab

electrineer30343225d@localpost doesn't explain https://devrant.com/rants/8959661/... but that might be an outlier

black-kite3122225dYou guys don’t get it. These are real people. It’s the army of contributors to the Quake1 fork project!!

Oktokolo12341225dMaybe, they are first upvoting random posts so their ++history isn't looking suspicious when they start upvoting their master's posts.

Oktokolo12341225d@Demolishun Sure, MIME tricks do work - give me any WebM with a content-type of image/webp and i will happily treat it like an animated image.
