I guess that's one way to get a hit list of usernames.

maybe you accidentally used a keyword they're looking for in that rant

I was thinking they would do certain actions to mimic real users, but @localpost's explanation sounds more likely.

The rant didn't mention .t3d or any other obvious keyword though.

I don't think it's necessarily a keyword but someone might manually trigger which post gets the upvotes.

Or do the thing manually. It doesn't look like it's necessarily even scripted.

@wojtek322 someone could take a look into those profiles and see if there are patterns in the ++ tab

@localpost doesn't explain https://devrant.com/rants/8959661/... but that might be an outlier

You guys don’t get it. These are real people. It’s the army of contributors to the Quake1 fork project!!

Maybe, they are first upvoting random posts so their ++history isn't looking suspicious when they start upvoting their master's posts.

@Demolishun Sure, MIME tricks do work - give me any WebM with a content-type of image/webp and i will happily treat it like an animated image.

@electrineer they all liked stuff about them self. The negative and positive things 🤷🏼‍♂️
