I don't think you know what you're talking about, because I tried it with one of the latest reddit posts in one of the sub-category, gave it 100 ups with different IP addresses and it worked fine. They got no dis-votes while I did it over the course of about 20-30 minutes, so it works.

Reddit doesn't show the true upvote/downvote count to outside viewers. This is done to ensure spammers like yourself can't measure their success.

No, Reddit scrambles the votes, your karma score will stay the same, but it will add the same amount of downvotes as upvotes over a course of time. Come to me when you get a 2000+ karma post, and untill then you can try your post ruining strategies elsewhere. Just don't trick other people into ruining their chances on Reddit.[DOUBLEPOST=1379132479,1379132378][/DOUBLEPOST]

I wasn't questioning whether it was real or not, just how the information got out :) Not a huge fan of Reddit, so didn't know whether it was "public" info, or whether it was research he had done himself :)

The information didn't get out or leak or anything, Reddit is and will always be open-sourced, meaning that their algorythms are public knowledge. In fact Reddit is so well made, that they let people know the back coding of their entire system, and people still can't beat it.

I don't use Reddit and don't spam on it. It was just a suggestion for those who are desperate. I've seen toooooo many people get negative feedback from Reddit that I keep clear of it.

It doesn't matter if you get 10,000 people to upvote your post, the way Reddit works, if it's not frontpage material, there WILL be 10,000 people to downvote it.
 
I actually just had a really good example of Reddit success last night. I did a video as a reminder to parents that GTA5 isn't for children. It was a very terse video, but short, and to the point. Cross posted it on r/gaming r/games /r/gta and r/grandtheftauto5

Normally, my feature creep series gets 50-100 views within the first day or two. This video is sitting at 1186 in less than 12 hours. Maintaining a good like/dislike ratio and the reddit posts haven't all been downvoted into oblivion.

Don't be silly. Anything can be "beaten". If people can figure out how to scam their way through Google, the biggest internet giant there is, or hack official government information, they can figure out how to do it with Reddit. Chances are Reddit just isn't really worth the trouble. I mean, sure, you might get a 1000 views, but for what effort? Heck, even 5000 might not be worth the effort (when looking at other things that would yield better results for your time investment).

Not saying Reddit might not very well have fantastic coding, I'm sure it does. Not saying it wouldn't take considerable effort, I wouldn't be surprised if it did. But don't make it sound like it's some holy grail of coding :-/

If you get frontpage on Reddit you will get a million views, not a few thousand, noone would even submit them if it only gave thousands of views. And the mods makes it impossible to cheat reddit.
 
Riddle me this? Everytime I post on Reddit things go really well for a while, even though people like my content and I get lots of up votes I get banned. Every time I start a new account the same events transpire. I get a week out of reddit. That's it. I had a comment that got hundreds of up votes that explains reddit in a nutshell:

"If Jesus Christ Himself posted a link to the Gospell he'd get banned for posting original content, if John or Matthew posted it things would be just swell"

Reddit is full of lazy content saps, people who've never created anything.
