Sort by Top>Day and you'll see five or six posts with tens of thousands of upvotes. But keep scrolling and they vote counts drop by orders of magnitude. It doesn't make sense if the upvotes are organic. (which we know hasn't been the case for many years, but the disparity between the top posts and all the rest has increased significantly)
I noticed the same thing lately in r/aww.
