If you've ever used Reddit you'll know it's quite "hit and miss", you either post something at the wrong time or it has been reposted already without you really being able to figure out beforehand cause their search function is famously bad, or someone just downvotes you for no apparent reason because most downvoters don't care about the Reddiquette of how the voting system should be used. Most of the time you'll be downvoted.

In most of the big subreddits there are a few dozen downvoting bots. Really the only way to get around that for what I used to do when I had a gaming youtube channel was have a few dozen accounts I had to use to upvote stuff. I did a lot of stuff like 4 years ago and was pretty involved in the gaming community, the downvote bots are horrible.

I expect it to be worse once more rewards and stuff like this start happening, they don't ban those downvote bots either, they have been running for years and still run today.
