This was exactly the post I was looking for to make sure it was not only me. A few hours ago I made a post, and it got 38 upvotes and 18 views.
I did play around with a couple of bots last weekend, just to check out how bots work. I thought it would stop after 1 post, but the last three all got that many upvotes...

I don't even know where they're coming from or which bot it is.
If I knew, I'd make it stop, because I think having 38 votes (worth $1.74) is discouraging for real people that want to vote. I wouldn't upvote a post that already has 38 votes....
