Just something I noticed when I posted something critical of China. If it was factual it could get a bunch of upvotes then magically a bunch of downvotes to push it back to 1 or 2 points positive. As it got a few more +1's then a few more -1's would appear to keep it just afloat, but no more. The oscillations were... interesting.

This doesn't have to be China either.

Mis-information has a lot of value to many countries atm. It's election year ramped up to the max.

Downvoting might just be to raise other comments.
