Investigation: same creators dominating NSFW subreddits and not getting banned

Hi everyone,

I see the same creators hit #1 on the Hot page of one NSFW subreddit with every. single. post.

It’s statistically impossible for this to be organic.

I tracked some of their posts: yes, they get 400 upvotes per hour, but the upvote curve looks natural.



Given the length of the curve, if these creators are buying upvotes, they need more than 1,000 upvotes per post, which is hard to buy cheap on most panels.

The only giveaway is that initially, they shares lag behind, but they eventually make up for it — either organically or some other way.

How are they not getting banned?

What’s the secret sauce?

Especially when one of these creators is a moderator of the subreddit—they could easily ban any competition.

Yeah I don’t get it

I can barely post in most subreddits while reading rules, having more comment and normal karma and not doing spam posts

cant hate them for pulling that off

Is there a tool to track posts upvotes like this?

Some people use robots to increase votes quickly. And their like curves look natural.
