    This is why the downvote system is such a failure of an idea.

    If people were as smart as they think they are, they’d just downvote stuff like this and it would go away. People post this junk because they are whores for upvotes

      It would work better if you could tweak what is shown based off the ratio. There are half as many downvotes as upvotes on this article.

      it’s easier to create multiple accounts on fediverse than on mainstream social media websites. Then just upvote your own posts with the bots.

        Why would any individual person go to this much trouble for upvotes?

        That sounds more like what a country would do to infect the people with their propaganda
