      No but tldr he was a poster on Reddit that was famous for being everywhere and constantly on the front page. Turned out he was using vote manipulation to guarantee he would make it to the top. He realized the first few votes mattered most for post turnout because a single up vote pushes a new post to the top above every other 1 score post. He used several accounts to upvote his own posts and down vote others to increase his own discoverability
