i unfortunately dont know enough about vote patterns on hn, or what is expected/normal voting behavior.
replywhat i do know is that their name is etched into my mind under the category of "shady, never do business with them".
I was writing my initial comment and I had no mention to the voting behaviour until I accidentally reloaded or something to find the upvote rise by a decent amount. Then I got suspicious and then I reloaded again to see like in 20seconds or < 1 minute and saw the vote rise so much (read my other comment)
replyI was writing the comment at time of 18 upvotes and then it went to 24 upvote all of a sudden that I had gone suspicious.
