Bots doing what? How would the poster being a bot influence why the post itself makes it to the front page with just 10 points?
It’s about how quickly they get those points. It doesn’t have to be bots. Sending a post to friends with reputable human profiles, and asking for a vote kinda works of most social networks. Some social networks claim they have protection against this but I wouldn’t bet they catch everything.
