> someone comes along with their four accounts and downvotes every comment I got
I think the Reddit server software actually detects that kind of thing now and will make those votes not count.
Likewise I think they’ve also made it so that a single comment alone that downvotes get piled onto will not hurt the account of the person that wrote it that much any longer.
For stories? Yes. For comments? They don't seem to care. Also the reddit bot mob is a very real thing and there's folks who enjoy evading those sorts of attempts at control. It becomes a game unto itself.
