There is also just a massive amount of bots on reddit. Unidan, a old famous redditor, was involved in a controversy where he would use bots to down vote all the posts made at the same time as his own posts so that his posts would be more visible. He's not the only one doing things like that

There are a LOT of bots, yes. Pretty much any submission that makes it to /r/all had a high likelihood of:

- being a submitted by bot reposting popular posts

- having comments from bots that repost popular comments from prior submissions

Though I'm pretty sure Unidan just logged into alternate accounts and downvoted things manually.
