The interesting part is that when a post is artificially supported, others are more inclined to vote the other way, since it's "rated wrong" (even if they don't know of the support); thus, once fraudulent votes are identified and the totals recalcualted, the commenter tends to be in a worse position than they would be otherwise.
Well, indirectly. It was more effective that way.
