For example, I’ll say the same exact thing, but I’ll add something like, “As a Bernie Sanders fan” and I’ll paste the same exact thing with Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and it’s funny how the up and down votes change because people pre-determine just on who they support, or the label they give themselves. I also notice that most conform, even with opinion. If you load the sample, people follow the trend. For example, if I have 20 accounts, and I can up-vote people tend to follow that same trend with a few outliers, but then again, there are some like that on YouTube who can’t stand to see a 0 for down-votes. You can take the same comment, and do the opposite - 20 down votes, and many times people follow the trend. Moderating: IOW you are a professional troller.
