What’s the deal with the downvotes?

What’s the deal with all the downvotes on any comment that is negative about Sutton? It’s to the point that it’s beyond noticeable. Every post, any comment that is critical of Sutton is at least zero, but often negative. I haven’t seen it so obvious with anyone else or in other subs I participate in. I’m not a conspiracy person, but it’s starting to feel weird. Sutton isn’t coming off so great this season.. do you think it’s bots or some sort of paid thing? Has there been an influx of members since this season started?
