Like, how do so many Americans just want a master to tell them what to do? Pathetic

    Anyone notice with posts like these that there will always be a handful of insanely high-voted (1000+) replies praising the OP, and then all of the "real" replies calling out the BS will be at 20-30 upvotes max? I notice this ALL the time in r/worldnews in any China bashing thread where the top posts will be stupid shit like "Xinnie the POO -5000 social Tianamens West Taiwan" and then the rest of the thread is just dunking on RFA or Zenz

    It's a pretty consistent way of judging if the thread was upvote-botted, replies are probably fake from the same guy who bought the service

      holy shit, you're right. +7,390 upvotes on the top comment. The next comments have only 149, 1194, 758, 476, 142, 310 upvotes - and then it drops off to double digits only.

      looks like every single comment is praising the OP anyway, though :|
