Just noticed something peculiar.

It seems to me that the dumbest shit posted gets the most upvoats.
Maybe it's just my perception of the content or my misunderstanding of the collective mind of voat.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, maybe fuck yourself.

Not sure what you mean in the present context and this sort of thing is nothing new.

gabara used to have some outlandishly retarded scp, purportedly this had something to do with the SBBH crew up-strokin' his submissions.

I was never part of the "cool kids club" and, as such, never really knew what was going on in that regard.

Some of those guys used to farm points for alt accounts via v/introductions that they'd then use to stir up shit. They got so much scp because they'd upvote literally anything they posted. I think there was certainly a malevolent element among the that just hid among the sarcastic/ironic shitposting. That element was aided by kevdude and his self-assigned v/protectvoat role. They would run off anyone who got too serious or had too big of a following. Stonetoss is the first example that springs to mind but there were others.

Appreciate the response and I only remember running off faggots (and 4Chan... fucking lol).

I probably just didn't know enough about what was going on at the time to be able to put 2 and 2 together.

Ha, pol tried raiding us that one time and nobody even realized it until after the fact. Everyone just wondered where all the based new users came from.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

You won't go anywhere on the internet that isn't manipulated unless you personally know every single person posting. By personally I mean in their corporeal presence, as in real.

Oh, is that what personally means? Thanks for the vocabulary lesson, Poindexter.

Oh shut up. You know dam well moronic boo hoos think the internet units they talk to are their "friends"

Can you post some examples of what you are referring to?

[ - ] gaperglory [op] 0 points 9 monthsJul 30, 2023 02:49:31 ago (+0/-0)

Well im about to go to sleep, but i have a few that jump to mind. Heres one i posted that got 40 something points. Dumb as shit, my brother sent it to me and i just figured id post it. But other stuff i post that hits me in the gut and it truly enlighteningly awful gets 6 points. here ya go.

and another shitpost i made that was just stupid
https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=64b6fa4cbe16b
so these are literally MY posts.
Maybe i dont understand the community as well as i thought i did, but its always the shit i expect to get 3 points that gets 40+, and the good stuff that doesnt break 10.

Just speculation. If people are enjoying any of it, im glad. Even if confused...

Blacks doing rude things get heavy upvoats. Now who, I wonder, would want the country divided?

[ - ] Sector7 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2023 01:27:42 ago (+1/-0)

Divided implies they'd still be here.

[ - ] gaperglory [op] 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2023 02:55:19 ago (+1/-0)

i wish (they) were LITERALLY divided. like down the middle.

Hotdog or hamburger style?

If you post something complicated it's probably going to have a more focused and limited audience.

[ - ] gaperglory [op] 1 point 9 monthsJul 30, 2023 02:56:28 ago (+1/-0)

I dont mean super niche shit. But lowest common denominator and low iq shitposting gets a lot of points typically.

The people are retarded. Even here.
