Haven't been there in a while, but an invariant of scrolling through SRS was that the linked posts had a high upvote count, before and after being linked from SRS page.
Which is the entire point of SRS - to show what kinds of things that that group finds objectionable gets upvoted on reddit.
I know that SRS is reddit's favorite bogeyman, but personally, I just haven't seen any evidence to the claim you made.
Note, I am not saying this to argue with you. I am writing this to provide a piece of anecdata to the person scrolling through this thread not much aware of the things being talked about.
