It might not be a very popular opinion, but I really don't care what other people think. I disagree the troll was right, I don't think isayisay is IronCobra, I don't think isayisay used alts to upvote himself.
I asked the deleted troll above for proof of his accusation on one of isayisay's memes. The truth is, it's not proveable that isayisay was using alts to upvote his memes (except for maybe a mod, but I don't think they would or that the mods even care) For some users, and perhaps most users, the accusation of using alts was enough.
Yes isayisay was sharing links to his memes before he submitted them. He was sending links to some top users, including me. I saw firsthand how many upvotes had already been given and who had commented on isayisays pre-submitted memes.
Also, I have upvoted some of your memes before they have featured (and I will continue to do so), I don't recall you ever sending me links.
I think isayisay earned most of his points by making 27000+ comments in about 6 months. That's about 150 comments a day, 4500 comments a month, isaysay was doing this day in and day out for MONTHS.
Here is a simple formula on how to earn points quickly on imgflip
imgflip.com/i/1rvexz I recall that user reached 100k in less than a month with less than 100 submissions and less than 1000 comments.
How many points would you have if you make 31 times as many comments as you have made to date?
