When votes trend one way with a sudden sharp reversal, that's manipulation.

I again refer you to the votes on the original meme.

Considering bots are faster than humans, it would imply the initial trend was bot manipulation.

Or you could just stop blaming bots for your terrible arguments.

Bots are fast once given instructions. They don't decide where to go or what to do on their own.

"could it be my posts are bad and that's why they are being downvoted and removed?"

"No, it's the bots who are wrong."

Everyone he disagrees with is a bot, he's a reverse philosophical zombie. He is the only free thinker, everyone else is programmed to a disagree with him.

It's a shame he doesn't have an opinion of his own other than "the opposite of the person disagreeing with me", it's letting the "bots" control his thoughts anyway.
