The political part of my feed is pretty much hard left wing - but when I open the comments the top responders are the most right wing PoS's I've ever seen. Which is so stupid because they'll have max 200 thumbs up while a rational left wing respons will ratio them out of the water
thats astroturfing, the troll farms have thousands of bots that can do that at once.
Yeah I always ignore them because I always assume it's either a bit farm or the algorithm pushing the comments, both of which I wanna discourage, so I don't interact with them.
