    I’ve noticed a few people doing it but they only seem to use like 4 accounts each. Usually people spamming/promoting a blog.

      The average person has to manually make all the accounts, switch between them, find the post and vote on it. Thats a lot of effort for one additional vote. If you realy want to have an effect you have to build a botnet and thats a lot of work to annoy some people.

        My guess is probably what’s happening with these 4-account people is they have them all open at the same time in different browsers, and since they only use them to upvote one account’s post submissions they just have to follow that account.
