A bit ago I posted on reddit about how gameboys (handheld console) were getting more expensive and Scalpers were making it worse. For a bit the post maintained in the double digits with the occasional scalper downvoting. I went to bed and the next morning- Boom. I had been spam downvoted by people who’s main activity is on Scalper subreddits and marketplaces.

    How do you know the down votes came from scalpers and not people that just disagreed with you?

      Had a look at some of the commenters profiles, 1 littlerally said in their bio “proud scalper”. Many had posted in various sale groups at very convenient times and a couple I traced to various other sites.
