Possible Evidence of Massive Reddit Vote Manipulation

So here's something I saw just today. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/av0js2/toilet_paper_use_in_the_united_states_is/

That thread got ~22,500 upvotes. But the top four upvoted comments are in direct contradiction to the article. So here we have this article with this massive amount of upvotes, but most of the comments are opposed to it.

Also likely: People are idiots who fall for click-bait and upvote based on the title, not actually reading the article or the comments.

Just wait until election season kicks into full gear...

So you're telling me someone organized some bots, or paid users, or raiders, to manipulate the votes to favor a post titled... "
Toilet paper use in the United States is destroying Canada’s forests, two international environmental groups say. The leading toilet paper, tissue and paper towel brands use only virgin fibre pulp, mostly from old boreal forests
Interesting strategy Russian Chinese Robot Lizards. Not sure what their strat is but the Illuminati works in mysterious ways.

Who says it has anything to do with the story itself? Maybe National Post manipulated the votes simply to get more views to their site.
