i've been uploading my recent "minicomic" and i noticed getting inmediate downvotes within the minute i upload them, is it a bot? or people browsing latest posts and just not likingit?

If you suspect a user is targeting your posts with downvotes, you can reach out to a Mod, and they can look into who is downvoting your posts and whether it's suspicious.

12 downvotes in 1 hour for post #5738034 does seem surprisingly high, but it's hard to say.

most likely just people not liking them, unless someone is annoyed enough to make 12+ alts (using the numbers from CrocoGator), most likely they don't like comics due to the source material its based off

woah i didn't knew it was that many, i only saw like max 7 in the preview of the post, idk if 12 downvotes in 1 hour is really review worthy nor i know if that really affects my work,i don't wanna annoy a mod but i will ask to see what they think

its most probably possibly definitely people not liking the source material being used for porn
especially because the default for posts is just purely newest first so the initial reactions are often similar to each other
and also yeah, a lot of people are against the smut being made for those family friendly webcomics/series/whatever theyre called

I'd say it's odd for multiple posts posted on different days to get similar downvotes, but not enough on it's own.

Btw, for a sequence of posts longer than 2, it's preferred to post them as a pool and not a chain of child posts.

I totally forgot about pools being a thing thanks a lot, also i agree it must be just people not liking me making porn of a wholesome comic, we'll see what happens in the future

i did notice a weird batch of exactly -1 scores on the front page around this time and furrypickle took a look for me and explained that, basically, its just a quirk of new posts naturally getting those receptions before the mass of positive votes come in
