I think the easiest way to explain this is, 'unto' is a word that doesn't get much use anymore outside of scripture and other Old English literature. It means 'to." So anything you might use to for, such as, "Bring it to me," would work with unto—"Bring it unto me." It just makes it sound a lot more formal and no one really uses it.
Onto indicates more of a where something/someone might go, like "We climbed onto the roof." So, if you're putting something on top of something else, that's when it's most appropriately used. I would say to use it sparingly, though, because the word on by itself may be all you need. For example, "I put the collar on the dog" is sufficient, though you could say, "I put the collar onto the dog." It just sounds like the collar could be laying on top of the dog rather than around it's neck, like on would infer.
I believe @iamthegray is correct—there are accounts that are set up to automatically follow new accounts. Whether they actually do any autovoting on your account may or may not be the case. As far as I know, none of the auto accounts that followed me when I first started, or who glommed on since are actually upvoting any of my posts. Depending on their intent, some of them may have wanted a follow for a follow, while others were probably hoping for upvotes on less than meaningful spam comments.
There certainly is a lot of bot accounts here, all with the intent of getting rewards in some fashion, without necessarily putting in much time or effort to do it. It's like mining, only proof-of-brain style. There's probably an oxymoron in there somewhere. :)
