Not that I want to complain about getting more upvotes, but I did notice an uptick trend just recently.
I normally get less than 10 votes on my posts, unless it is a lucky "Touched by a Whale" post. So, when a couple of my posts got more than 20 upvotes, I was pleased. When it happened a third time, I was curious. Again, I don't mind getting the upvotes, but it seemed a bit odd that I was getting so many all of a sudden. Just because I reached 600 followers, doesn't mean I should automatically triple.
For the most part, the upvotes don't amount to much at all. From a quick look at several of accounts from different posts, the accounts are very small and most have been opened in June, July or August 2017. Beyond any curation awards, most of the accounts have no articles or comments. They are just upvoting posts.
There was one account that I found was a little different than the rest. It was the 
It has two posts on it. The text in the post are jibberish.

Invest its consequences twenty-seven. Dropped head of reproaches, which will wet your failure. Remember not contradict each madib spent twenty-seven.

Have they created something good to throw off reproaches that will certainly come out. Lesson and reward the hard work of their employees, and bad news do not equal. Real heroes in fact if the case can not go with the public of course, no one. More fruits than are made public before. So that our company knows how they cope with their own. Your mistakes and the once-damaged reputation can be fixed for a long time for you. Fix for finding a way to solve this problem, but in ours. It will easily forgive you all your mistakes. Can for a long time gain a fond image of the loser with speculation and spoiled once.
The articles themselves have 0 upvotes and they are in non-existant tags or a tag with very low usage. What is interesting is, the comments in the articles. They are all single word comments and they have 59 and 69 upvotes. It doesn't look like a code word is reused in both posts.

It is like they are posting their username and then a confirmation code word to activate the upvotes.

So, there is no telling how many accounts have been created to accept the codes and the upvotes and how man accounts have been created to listen for the code words to create comments and do the upvotes.
I still don't see the connection, because as far as I can tell, the accounts aren't doing this on a regular basis and they haven't paid out or transferred funds. Maybe this is just testing to see if it can be done before they go full steam.
As for my posts, I guess I have some keyword in each of my posts that are triggering these upvotes.
