Anyone noticed a uptick in fake or falsified news and statistics on voat recently (last few months).
This post which contained falsified abortion statistics currently has over 106 upvaots and only 9 downvoats a upvoat rate of 93%. Top comment is calling out the bullshit but retarded boomers are just upvoating it anyways.
This obvious bullshit has an 83% upvoat ratio.
This has become more and more common recently, Whether it's Glowniggers trying to poison the well or Boomers mindlessly regurgitating retarded shit from their facebook groups this stuff hurts voat's credibility and results in people spreading the fake news and getting called out on it.
Remember, we are on the side of truth, we are correct so there is no need for us to lie.

I don’t think this is anything really new to Voat.
Most people upvote what they want to believe or what they want to spread, and the quicker to digest, the better.
Perhaps the fake items lessened a bit since 2016, but they are going to ramp up more and more as we get to 2020.
