I know youtube was affected by it. They made efforts to fix the upvoting but never the downvoting.

Ohhh yeah. Downvote bomb too. Always take the votes with a grain of salt. I mean, this is the internet. Standard rules apply.

Most of my comments get one singular downvote, even if they’re completely innocous. I cannot imagine a person being petty enough to manually do it, so yeah, I imagine, some bot or rogue instance is involved.
