thi..s a.pp’s system slowly applies downvotes if u have anything negative to say about it using the words “th.s ap.p, on h.ere, or the name of it. This tool could be esp dangerous applied to other topics. Tested by commenting on my old posts w/o comments

I just think it’s really deceptive that they’re specifically trying to make it look like people have downvoted it and don’t agree. I’ve noticed this for I think over a year and was like what the hell is going on why am I getting downvoted. You guys can try this on your own posts with these phrases I commented and see

You should post this on Reddit or something. Spread it far and wide, people need to know how manipulated things are

It’s crazy how they totally do it like that to try to make it look more natural. If you all of a sudden got a lot of downvotes at once right away every time that would be more noticeable

I’ve also suspected for a while that they manipulate votes in the other direction. I’ve noticed that comment upvotes rarely stay at 2; if it gets to 2, it usually also goes up to 3. It’s like they add another upvote to simulate activity. Unless humans just have a natural tendency to stop at the number 3 lol. But they might do this to encourage participation

I’ve thought about posting other places. I think this is a big deal that they have a system in place that works like this off pure deception faking real people liking or disliking something. But I’ve posted about it before and I posted this in so many communities and no one really seems to gaf which made me question it. But I think people should care more
