I’ve been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly…from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude…

    I doubt there’s any deliberate vote fuzzing here—reddit did that to prevent karma-farming bots from figuring out if they were being detected and blocked, but with no permanent karma, that shouldn’t be an issue here.
