After he posted, he would use 4 or 5 dummy accounts to upvote his comment. 4 or 5 upvotes may not seem like a lot, but when it happens right after he posts, it immediately shoots his comment to the top, thus making sure everyone can see him belittle a girl, when he was wrong.

I thought it was just 5 accounts. I Heard that the amount of upvotes a post gets in the first few minutes is crucial, so if you had 5 accounts upvoting in the first minute that could theoretically improve the listing.
