Why do you upvote this content? Is kuntuckygirl1 someone famous i should know about? This post doesn't look like anything special, anyone could have wrote it so why reposting and upvoting content from x and from people we don't know anything about?

While I would truly prefer if people stopped visiting and publicizing X, I think people just see a thing that they agree with an upvote it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the people posting it here are just reposting it from some other site and haven't even been to X in the first place.

In other words, you might be overthinking it.
