Is this a common problem (purchased PH upvotes)?

Is this a real thing or just a "niche" problem? https://typestudio.co/blog/suspicious-upvotes-on-product-hunt/ What do you think?

@rashjbp More upvote means higher rank and higher possiblity to reach more people. People give attention more for the product on the top 5. But I agree with you that "buying" is not necessery. I also think that paying for PH newsettler is not necessery too (because it doesn't make you get taht much new customers) but so much people pay serious amounts for that.

If the maker is an actually a company this boots from employees are possible. But in this situation boots will occur in the beginning to have a strong start. It is also possible that those makers' network woke up at that 2 hours (time zone issues). It is always possible to "buy" upvotes but PH algorithm constantly fight with this issue. If there is a market of upvotes, it must be a very pricy one.
