Agree.
But I don't think they would use this way if they want to manipulate Raddle. Raddle should be a "more expensive" target, they would use comments mainly.

That's true, but voting still has an effect on the subconscious, even if you're actively trying to ignore it. Most people go into a thread with upvotes expecting to see something they'll agree with on a forum such as Raddle, and will be more likely to react positively to the post. At least that's my theory, but then again, this is coming mostly from my ass.
