They seem to have 1-3 burner accounts

The shills have hundreds, perhaps even thousands of accounts on this platform. Even beginner shills fresh out of the U.S. military start off managing ten social media accounts that they can coordinate using special software for that purpose. That was years ago. There are now Microsoft Teams extensions for this that work even better.

The reason I know that there are at least that many coordinated accounts is because I've seen them work together in other forums on this platform to give things that many upvotes all at once. They are in use here to promote the content of u/CrusaderPepe , but they only need scores of them to push his stuff consistently to the top.

One thing to remember is that when they do this, the content you contribute gets pushed down so people don't see it. Vote brigading should be a bannable offense with zero tolerance.
