i’m not accusing them of anything and i think it’s alright to use some help, but just look how big the number of upvotes is compared to the amount of positive comments? why does a niche product take such a high spot?

why are so many people upvoting but only so little commenting? how is it that only a minority commented positively the product?

this isn’t like a typical #1 post

makes you suspicious doesn’t it?

Not really. It isn't uncommon. The target audience for this is bigger than you think, and those it appeals to are happy to see their niche discussed regardless if the actual link is a good or bad fit for the niche itself.
