@the-gorilla why do you say so?

@eosxiomara - I read an article this morning about how up votes work, with a 5 minute delay (can't find where the article was now) before the "up-voters" maximise their earning potential if they upvote early and then other vote afterwards.

14 up-votes appeared after exactly 5 minutes, all at exactly the same time, none of which (as far as I'm aware) are following me or members of this community. So I think they've got to be bots of some sort. I'll be interested to see if the same things happens to my future articles or if it's a particular tag they're picking up. It's interesting that it's the main article that's being targeted and not comments.

Hopefully somebody else who reads this will understand it better than me and be able to explain it. I don't like being associated with this kind of automatic up-voting to be honest with you, it undermines the effort I went to to write the article.

Yeah, i surely does. I do hope theyre not bots though.
