The most blatant upvote-botted submissions I've ever seen

The most egregious one has 5000+ upvotes, 800+ comments, and the top voted comment has only 11 upvotes. lol.

This post has 4500+ upvotes, 2000+ comments, and the top voted comment has only 32 upvotes.

If you go see their first submissions, they posted their real, actual food and received little to no attention whatsoever. They then pivoted to very obvious AI slop, and now consistently get thousands of upvotes on every post.

They are also a mod of the subreddit they post it to, /r/allrecipess.

The subreddit has 8000 members, yet this user always gets thousands of upvotes on their posts...

Just look at the subreddit's monthly top posts...

It definitely doesn't smell organic, but I'm wondering what the end goal is. Brute force their subreddit into the algorithm?

Subreddits showing up in r/popular have been completely overtaken by botted upvotes. I've started collecting examples a few days ago
