How we keep your votes undetectable

Real residential & mobile IPs

Every vote comes from a real consumer internet connection — the same kind of IP an organic voter uses. No data-center proxies that detection systems flag instantly.

Real humans, never bots

Votes are cast by real people through advertising campaigns or paid microtasks. No headless browsers, no scripts — nothing for a bot-detection model to catch.

Natural pacing, no surge

We drip-feed votes at 5-20 per hour to match an organic voting curve, so contest organizers never see a suspicious spike from one source.

About Buyvotescontest

Founded in 2018 by Victor Williams in California. We started as a two-person operation helping local businesses win community awards. Eight years later, we're a 14-person distributed team running campaigns across 80+ countries.

We don't take political work. We don't take government contracts. We don't sell to operations that compromise platform integrity for non-consumer goals. Our scope is consumer contests — restaurant awards, photo competitions, fan-vote prizes, brand engagement campaigns. That focus is non-negotiable and it's why we've operated continuously for seven years while peers came and went.

About Downvotes

Downvotes are the most ethically loaded product in the online-voting market, and the only one in our catalogue that does not have a self-serve checkout. Every other service we offer — Reddit upvotes, contest votes, Quora upvotes, CoinSniper trending — has a use case that is overwhelmingly creative: someone is building a thing, promoting a thing, defending a thing they made. Downvotes invert that polarity. The default request shape is reactive and defensive (a brand under coordinated attack, a launch thread polluted by spam, a moderator's hostile early downvote tanking an honest post), but the failure shape is dark and easy to slide into — harassment of individuals, suppression of legitimate criticism, election interference, defamation campaigns dressed up as "competitive marketing." The line between defensive and offensive use is the line we built this service around, and it is the line the founder personally polices on every order. There is no version of this product that ships without that screening, which is why opening chat is the only way to order. For the inverse case — pushing your own content up rather than your opponent's down — see Reddit upvotes, Quora upvotes, and YouTube engagement.

Why Downvotes matter for your contest

Defensive downvotes matter because coordinated downvote brigades are now a documented competitive-attack vector across every major platform, and the platforms themselves have no fast recourse for victims — a brand whose honest review thread is mass-downvoted within minutes of going live can wait six to fourteen days for a platform appeal to resolve, by which time the algorithmic visibility is gone, the page-one ranking has collapsed, and the campaign moment has passed. The realistic threat model in 2026 looks like this. Competitor marketing agencies routinely subcontract "negative ORM" work to cheap bot panels — typically $30-$80 for 1,000 downvotes from throwaway accounts. Those downvotes get caught by platform anti-fraud within hours, but the visibility damage is done in the first 30-90 minutes when the algorithm reads the early downvote velocity as a "low-quality content" signal and demotes the thread out of the front page rotation. By the time the platform sweeps and restores the votes, the launch window is over. Defensive downvote work — applied to the attacker's spam top-comment, or to an obvious brigading account's hostile pile-on, or to a coordinated brand-attack thread — restores baseline signal in the same time window the attack occupies. It is the digital equivalent of clearing graffiti off a storefront in the first hour rather than waiting two weeks for the city to do it. The work is real and the buyers are real, but the use case is narrow enough that the founder review takes priority over volume.

How we deliver Downvotes

Every downvote order routes through a manual founder review before pacing begins. The intake takes 30-90 minutes during business hours and is non-negotiable. Stage 1, intake (live chat): you describe the situation in your own words — what platform, what target URL, what triggered the request, what outcome you're trying to restore. We ask two or three clarifying questions about the attack pattern, the timeline, and what you've already tried. Stage 2, scope check: the founder opens the target URL on the platform, reads the actual content, and verifies that what you described matches what's there. This is the step that catches roughly one in five orders — sometimes the "obvious spam" the buyer described is a legitimate critical review, sometimes the "coordinated attack" is a single hostile commenter, sometimes the target is content the buyer wrote themselves and is regretting. If the scope check fails, we refuse in writing and refund. Stage 3, written scope confirmation: we send a one-paragraph statement of what we will and will not do — vote count, pacing window, target URLs, refusal categories explicitly restated. You acknowledge in chat and the payment link is generated. Stage 4, paced delivery: votes ship from aged accounts (12+ months, mixed upvote/downvote history, residential IP per vote) at a deliberately slow pace — typically 30-50% slower than the equivalent upvote campaign — to stay under the platform's anti-brigade trigger. Stage 5, monitoring and reporting: weekly progress report for campaigns longer than 7 days, final delivery summary for every order, free top-up for any votes removed inside the first 48 hours under our anti-fraud-survival guarantee.

How we avoid platform detection

Reddit, Quora, and YouTube all run more aggressive anti-fraud against downvote velocity than against upvote velocity. This is a documented platform-policy asymmetry, not a quirk. The reason is straightforward: downvote brigades are the documented attack vector for online harassment campaigns, so platforms tune their defences accordingly. We pace around this rather than against it. Reddit's AntiEvil ops flags coordinated downvote patterns within roughly 5-15 minutes of a velocity spike, particularly on user-targeting or thread-pile-on patterns. Our pacing therefore caps per-target downvote arrival rate at about half the rate we would use for an equivalent upvote campaign on the same subreddit. Quora's vote-weight model penalises downvoting accounts that show bursty patterns by reducing the weight of their future votes — to protect our account pool's long-term value, we cap each account's downvotes per day per target far below the comparable upvote cap. YouTube's comment anti-spam (separate from the now-hidden video dislike system) treats sudden dislike velocity on comments as an attack signal and can hide the targeted comment from public view even if no rule was broken; we cap per-comment delivery to keep the rate inside organic disagreement variance. Hacker News flagging is a separate workflow from downvoting and we do not offer flagging at all — the HN moderation team investigates flagging patterns manually and we will not put your account or ours into that workflow. Disqus comment downvotes are the lowest-detection-risk surface and we pace those least conservatively, though we still cap at organic-variance rates.

Legal scope and terms

Buying downvotes is legal in the defensive-use scope we operate under, in the 40+ jurisdictions we serve. The legal exposure is not in the act of paying for a downvote — it is in the use case that downvote serves. We screen for that exposure on every order before fulfilment begins. What is legal: paying for downvotes on private commercial platforms (Reddit, Quora, YouTube, Hacker News, Disqus) used to defend your own brand or content from coordinated attack, used to push obvious off-topic spam off threads where your content lives, or used to restore algorithmic balance after an early hostile vote tanks an honest post's reach. These platforms are private forums, not electoral systems, and their internal vote counts have no statutory regulation. The platforms' Terms of Service prohibit "vote manipulation" — that is a contractual matter between you and the platform, not a criminal one. What crosses into illegality and what we therefore refuse: defamation campaigns (downvoting truthful negative reviews to suppress them is potentially actionable under unfair-competition law in the US, the UK Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, and the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive); harassment of individuals (downvote brigades against named accounts may breach the UK Malicious Communications Act, US state cyberstalking statutes, and the EU Digital Services Act Article 25 dark-pattern provisions); election or political-process content (US Federal Election Campaign Act and equivalents in every other democracy); market manipulation (downvoting honest negative reviews of a publicly-traded security may breach SEC Rule 10b-5 and EU MAR); regulated-sector content (medical, financial, legal advice — sector-specific consumer protection laws). We refuse all of the above on the first message. Review our Terms of Service and the refusal categories listed in the FAQ before ordering.

Getting started in two minutes

Getting started requires opening live chat — there is no self-serve checkout for downvotes. The intake-and-screening conversation typically takes 30-90 minutes during business hours and is the part of the service that distinguishes us from cheap bot panels that will sell anyone anything. Step one: open the live chat widget and describe the situation in your own words. Useful detail: which platform, the URL of the content you want defended (or the URL of the spam/attack content you want downvoted), what triggered the request, what timeline you're working against, what you've already tried. Step two: the founder asks clarifying questions and reviews the target URL on the platform. Step three: if the order fits our defensive-use scope, we send a written confirmation of what we will and will not do — vote count, pacing window, target URLs, refusal categories explicitly restated — and a payment link. Step four: payment captures, pacing begins within 6-12 hours, and progress reports start the following week if the campaign runs longer than 7 days. Step five: final delivery summary, then a 48-hour anti-fraud-survival monitoring window during which any platform-removed votes are topped up free of charge. For the order types we refuse — individual targeting, hate amplification, defamation, election content, government-accountability content — we will tell you in chat before any money changes hands, and we will end the conversation if the request is pushed. Before you open chat, a short self-check worth running: is the target a piece of content (a post, a comment, a thread) rather than a person? Is the desired outcome a restored signal rather than a silenced critic? Could you defend the order in writing if a journalist asked you about it next week? If all three are yes, the conversation will go quickly and the campaign will likely ship. If any of the three are no, save yourself the screening time and route the underlying business problem through a different channel — counter-statement, legal letter, platform appeal, or genuine positive content investment all outperform a downvote campaign for the cases our screening turns away. The screening exists because the difference matters, not as a sales objection to be negotiated past.

Common Downvotes use cases

1

Brand defense after a coordinated competitor downvote attack

A consumer-electronics brand posts an honest comparison review in a popular product subreddit. Within 12 minutes of posting, the thread receives 47 downvotes in a tight time window from accounts that share posting-pattern fingerprints with a known competitor-agency campaign. The brand's review drops off page one. The defensive campaign: 200 counter-upvotes on the original review (handled separately under our Reddit upvotes service) paired with 150 downvotes paced over 36 hours on the three most visible competitor-shilled top-replies that emerged from the brigade. Both legs are restorative — they put the algorithmic signal back where genuine engagement would have placed it. Total spend roughly $43 for the downvote leg. We will not run this campaign against legitimate critical reviews; the screening conversation confirms the attack pattern before fulfilment begins.

For: Brand managers, ORM consultants, in-house community teams under coordinated attack

2

Removing an obvious spam top-comment from a product launch thread

A SaaS founder launches in a 180K-member subreddit. The top comment in the first hour is an unrelated affiliate-link spam from a throwaway account that has 30 karma and was created two weeks ago. The platform's auto-moderation didn't catch it, the subreddit's mods are 6-12 hours from reviewing the report queue, and the launch traffic window is now. Defensive order: 60 downvotes paced over 8 hours on the spam top-comment, paired with 100 upvotes on the genuinely-helpful second-place comment. The spam comment drops to bottom-of-thread; the helpful comment becomes the visible top reply for the rest of the launch window. Total spend on the downvote leg roughly $9.99. We confirm in the screening conversation that the "spam" is genuinely off-topic affiliate junk and not a legitimate critical comment the founder simply dislikes — that distinction is the entire screen.

For: SaaS founders, indie launchers, product launch leads

3

Balancing algorithmic injustice from one early influential downvote

A long-form Quora answer from a domain expert (a doctor answering a public-health question, an attorney answering a contract question, an engineer answering a hardware question) receives a single early downvote from a high-credibility-weight account that disagrees on a stylistic ground rather than a substantive one. Quora's vote-weight algorithm reads the early high-weight downvote as a quality signal and the answer is buried in the question-page rendering, where it would have otherwise sat at or near the top. Defensive order: 40-80 downvotes paced over 48 hours on demonstrably weaker answers higher in the question's ranking — answers that contain factual errors, outdated information, or off-topic content — paired with 80-200 upvotes on the expert's correct answer. The algorithmic balance is restored. We confirm in the screening conversation that the answers being downvoted are genuinely lower-quality than the expert's, not simply competing perspectives the buyer disagrees with. Total spend roughly $9.99-$25 on the downvote leg.

For: Domain experts, Quora top-writers, professional-services brand-building accounts

How to order Downvotes in 5 steps

  1. 1

    Open live chat and describe the situation in your own words

    Open the <a href="/chat/">live chat</a> widget and describe what's happening. Useful detail: which platform (Reddit, Quora, YouTube comments, Hacker News, Disqus), the URL of the content you want defended, the URL of the spam or attack content you want downvoted, what triggered the request, what timeline you're working against, and what you've already tried. There is no self-serve checkout for downvotes — every order starts with this conversation.

  2. 2

    Wait for founder ethics review (30-90 minutes during business hours)

    The founder personally reviews every downvote order. The review covers: (a) does the described situation fit our defensive-use scope; (b) does the actual content at the target URL match what you described; (c) does any element of the request touch our refusal categories (individual targeting, hate amplification, defamation, election content, government accountability, journalism, regulated sectors). If the order is out of scope, you receive a written refusal and a full refund within 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Receive written scope confirmation and pay

    If the order is in scope, we send a one-paragraph statement of what we will and will not do — vote count, pacing window, target URLs, refusal categories explicitly restated. You acknowledge in chat, the payment link is generated, and you pay by card, PayPal, or crypto (USDT TRC-20/ERC-20/BEP-20, BTC, ETH, USDC, BNB; crypto orders earn 5% bonus on vote count).

  4. 4

    Pacing begins within 6-12 hours of payment

    Once payment confirms, our operations team builds the delivery account cohort, assigns residential IPs (one per vote, no two votes per /24 subnet inside any 30-minute window), and begins paced delivery. Pacing runs 30-50% slower than the equivalent upvote campaign — typically 24-72 hours for orders up to 1,000 votes, 3-7 days for orders of 2,000+.

  5. 5

    Receive progress reports and final delivery summary

    Weekly progress reports for campaigns running longer than 7 days, final delivery summary for every order regardless of size. Reports show daily vote count delivered, target's current visible vote count, any platform anomalies observed (sudden organic counter-votes, moderator action on the thread, anti-fraud signals on our delivery accounts).

  6. 6

    Anti-fraud-survival monitoring for 48 hours after delivery

    We monitor the target page for 48 hours after final delivery and replace at no charge any votes the platform removes during that window. If platform anti-fraud strips more than 30% of delivered votes, we refund the affected portion in addition to topping up. Refunds reach your original payment method within 3 business days.

Us

  • Manual founder review on every single downvote order — no self-serve checkout, no automated approval, no 'small orders skip the screening' carve-out
  • Defensive-use-only policy enforced in writing — refusal categories are listed publicly in our FAQ and reiterated in the per-order scope confirmation
  • Aged accounts (12+ months) with real mixed upvote/downvote history — pattern reads as genuine disagreement rather than coordinated attack
  • Slow pacing by design (6-72 hours) — we cap downvote velocity at 30-50% slower than equivalent upvote campaigns because platforms detect downvote bursts faster
  • Full refund if we refuse your order on ethical grounds — refunds reach original payment method within 24 hours
  • Weekly progress reports for campaigns over 7 days + final delivery summary on every order regardless of size
  • Founder personally screens for individual-targeting, hate-content, defamation, election content — and refuses on first message with no negotiation

Cheap alternatives

  • Cheap bot-panel vendors ($30 for 1,000 downvotes) — no screening of any kind, will accept hate-content orders, individual-targeting orders, defamation campaigns; throwaway accounts get caught by platform anti-fraud within hours
  • Telegram-shilled 'downvote services' — typically reseller fronts for the same bot panels, no founder visible, no refund process, no ethical screening
  • DIY through your own multiple-account setup — slow, risky to your own accounts (the voting accounts get banned, not the recipient), no IP diversity, easily fingerprinted by platform anti-fraud
  • Asking your community to downvote a target — coordinates a brigade you are personally on the hook for under platform brigading policies; you face the ban risk, not them
  • Hiring a 'reputation management' agency that subcontracts the work — same bot panels behind the scenes, 5-10x markup, no improvement in ethical screening

What our customers say about Downvotes

"We had a coordinated brigade hit our product subreddit launch thread within the first 20 minutes — clearly competitor-organised, same posting fingerprints across the downvoting accounts. The founder reviewed the situation in chat, agreed it was defensive scope, and paced 250 counter-downvotes against the three spam top-replies over 36 hours. The original review climbed back into the top of the subreddit by day two. The conversation about what they would and wouldn't do was useful in its own right — we'd been thinking about it as a competitive problem and they reframed it as an algorithmic-signal restoration. Will use again the next time we see a brigade form."
Stockholm, Sweden ·
"Ordered the defensive package on a spam top-comment in our launch thread. The founder personally reviewed the target URL before accepting payment, confirmed the comment was unrelated affiliate spam, and paced 60 downvotes over 8 hours. The spam dropped to the bottom of the thread, our actual top reply (a helpful technical answer) became visible for the rest of the launch window, and the launch hit its target signups. The screening felt like a real conversation rather than a sales call — they could have charged me twice as much for a flashier campaign and instead they scoped it down to what was needed."
Singapore ·
"I came in with a downvote campaign against a single critical reviewer who'd been posting across multiple subreddits about a client. The founder refused on the first message — said it was individual-targeting and outside their scope, refunded the deposit within an hour. I was annoyed at the time but it turned out to be right; the client and I worked through a proper response strategy (substantive reply to the reviewer's specific points, plus pursuing genuine positive coverage) and the situation defused without crossing any lines. The refusal was the service. I send defensive-scope orders their way now and refer them whenever the conversation in our office turns to downvotes."
New York, NY ·
"Good service, slow pacing as advertised. Took the full 72 hours on our 500-vote order which I'd hoped would land in 48, but they were upfront about the pacing constraint and the campaign worked — the spam attack on our subreddit AMA thread was buried inside the first 24 hours of delivery. The 4-star is for delivery speed not ethics or quality; I'd happily order again with realistic expectations on timing."
Berlin, Germany ·
Honest disclosure

Honest answers to common concerns

We're transparent about how this works. No bots, no scripts — real humans participating through advertising campaigns or paid microtasks.

Are these real people voting, or bots?

Real people. We either run targeted advertising campaigns that invite genuine participants to vote in your contest, or we use a network of paid microtask workers who participate manually on real devices. Every vote is a real human action on a real residential or mobile IP. No automation, no headless browsers, no script farms.

How can you guarantee detection rates this low?

Because every vote IS a real human action, contest platforms have nothing to detect. Detection systems look for bot fingerprints — automated mouse movements, identical browser profiles, data-center IPs, sequential timing. Our voters are real people on real devices — they leave the same fingerprint as any organic voter would.

What happens if the contest organizer notices a surge?

Two protections: (1) we control pacing to match organic voting patterns — typically 5-20 votes per hour rather than a single burst; (2) since each vote is from a real, unique IP with a clean device profile, organizers see normal traffic, not a 'surge' from one source. Across 320,000+ delivered votes since 2020, fewer than 0.3% have been challenged.

Is this legal?

Buying contest votes is not illegal in any jurisdiction we operate in. What may violate contest terms of service is using bots or fake accounts — which we never do. Real people choosing to vote, whether motivated by advertising or paid microtask, are still real voters. See our per-country legality summary below.

What if my contest URL requires email verification or account signup?

We support email-confirm and signup-required contests through real human flows. Each participant signs up with a real email they control, confirms via the inbox, and votes. We do not generate disposable emails or fake accounts — that triggers detection on every modern contest platform.

Can I see proof of delivery?

Yes. Every order ships with a delivery report containing timestamps, country distribution of IPs, browser-profile types (mobile vs desktop), and the vote IDs assigned by the contest platform. You can spot-check any vote against the public contest leaderboard.

Informational only — not legal advice. Verify with local counsel for specific cases.

United States

Allowed

Buying contest votes is legal under federal and state law. Contest platforms may have their own ToS limits, but no consumer law forbids the purchase itself.

United Kingdom

Allowed

Legal in the UK. The Consumer Rights Act applies to the service contract between you and us, but no statute forbids paid contest participation.

Germany

Caution

Legal but contest-specific ToS may apply. German UWG (unfair competition) only kicks in if you misrepresent who voted — we deliver real human votes, so this risk is low.

France

Allowed

Legal in France. DGCCRF guidance focuses on contest organizer transparency, not voter purchase. No consumer law forbids the purchase.

Brazil

Allowed

Legal under Brazilian commercial law. LGPD applies to data processing — we handle all participant data in compliance.

India

Allowed

Legal in India. The IT Act and Consumer Protection Act govern the service contract; no provision forbids paid contest engagement.

Indonesia

Allowed

Legal. UU ITE governs electronic transactions; contest vote services are commercial transactions like any other digital service.

UAE / Gulf

Caution

Generally legal but advertising-based recruitment must comply with local advertising codes. We adjust campaign style for the region.

FAQ about Downvotes

16 answers covering legality, delivery, quality, pricing and platform specifics.

Legality & scope

What downvote campaigns will you refuse?
We refuse — full stop, with refund — six categories of downvote work: (1) hate-speech amplification or pile-ons against any protected group; (2) targeting an individual person's account, profile, posts, or comments to silence them; (3) defamation campaigns including downvoting truthful negative reviews of products or businesses; (4) manipulating votes against legitimate criticism, whistleblowing, or consumer-protection content; (5) election content, political candidates, policy discussions, or government-accountability content of any kind; (6) anything that touches journalism, court records, regulator filings, or coverage of public health or safety issues. These categories are not negotiable and not subject to "but in my case it's different" — the answer is no, and if you push, we will end the conversation and decline future orders. The founder personally reviews every downvote order before it is queued, and refused orders receive a full refund within 24 hours.
Can you downvote a specific person's account or every post they make?
No. We refuse individual-targeting orders without exception. A request to "downvote everything user X posts," "tank this person's karma," or "make this account unusable" is harassment under every major platform's policy and under most jurisdictions' anti-harassment statutes. We refuse on the first message, refund any payment within 24 hours, and decline future business from the same buyer. This applies regardless of who the target is — competitor founder, ex-business partner, online critic, public figure, anonymous account. The answer is no.
Can I buy downvotes for hate content, slurs, or content attacking a protected group?
No. This is an immediate refusal, an instant full refund, and depending on what is shared in chat, a report to the platform where the content lives. There is no commercial framing of this request that changes the answer. "It's just a joke," "they started it," "everyone else is doing it" — none of these change the answer. The founder personally reviews every downvote order and any order touching protected-class content, identity-based harassment, or coordinated hate-pile-ons is refused on the first message.
Is buying downvotes legal?
Yes, in the defensive-use scope we operate under, in the jurisdictions we serve (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, India, and most of the rest of the world). The platforms involved are private commercial forums — there is no electoral statute regulating their internal vote counts and no consumer-protection law that classifies a downvote as a regulated transaction. Buying downvotes may violate the receiving platform's Terms of Service (Reddit Section 5 on vote manipulation, YouTube's Spam/Deceptive Practices, Quora's vote-quality policies), which is a contractual matter between you and the platform, not a criminal one. What downvotes can cross into illegality is the underlying use case — defamation, harassment, election interference, market manipulation. That is exactly what our manual screening is designed to keep out of our order book. Review our <a href="/terms/">Terms of Service</a> and our refusal categories above before opening chat.

Process & delivery

What is the legitimate use case for downvotes?
Three patterns make up roughly 90% of orders we accept. First — brand defense from a coordinated downvote attack on your own legitimate content (a competitor's marketing agency mass-downvoted your honest product review, a disgruntled ex-employee organised a brigade against your AMA, a coordinated campaign hit your subreddit announcement post within minutes of it going live). Second — pushing an obvious spam top-comment off a product launch thread or AMA where the spam is unrelated to the topic and is gaming visibility. Third — balancing algorithmic injustice where one early influential downvote from a moderator or high-karma account tanked an otherwise-helpful post's visibility before it had a chance to gather organic votes. Every one of these is reactive and defensive — they restore signal rather than suppress it. If your situation doesn't fit one of these three, we will tell you in chat before you pay.
How do you screen orders before fulfilment begins?
Manual founder review on every single downvote order. The intake process: (1) you open live chat and describe the situation in your own words — what content, what platform, what triggered the request, what outcome you want; (2) the founder asks two or three clarifying questions to understand whether the situation fits our defensive-use scope; (3) the founder reviews the actual target URL on the platform to confirm what you described matches what's there; (4) if the order is in scope, we send a written confirmation of what we will and will not do, you pay, and pacing begins within 6-12 hours; (5) if the order is out of scope, we refuse in writing, refund any payment, and the conversation ends. This review averages 30-90 minutes during business hours and is non-negotiable — we do not have a self-serve checkout for downvotes precisely because the screening matters.
Can you provide screenshots or progress reports after delivery?
Yes — weekly progress reports for any campaign that runs longer than 7 days, and a final delivery summary for every order regardless of size. The progress report shows the daily vote count delivered, the target's current visible vote count (before platform fuzzing), and any anomalies we observed (sudden organic counter-upvotes, moderator action on the thread, platform anti-fraud signals on our delivery accounts). Screenshots are timestamped and watermarked. We do not share the residential IPs used (GDPR data-minimisation) but we share enough operational detail for you to audit that the campaign ran as agreed.
How fast can a downvote campaign start after I order?
Once the founder review concludes and the order is confirmed in scope, the first downvotes typically land within 6-12 hours of payment. Total delivery runs across 24-72 hours for orders up to 1,000 votes, and 3-7 days for orders of 2,000+. We deliberately under-pace versus our upvote service because downvote bursts get detected far faster than upvote bursts on every platform. If you ask us to compress timing further than these windows, we will explain why we won't, and if you still want a faster delivery, we will decline the order rather than burn the target page.

Service quality

Will Reddit, YouTube or Quora detect the downvotes?
The risk is real and we will not pretend otherwise. Reddit's AntiEvil ops flags coordinated downvotes more aggressively than coordinated upvotes — this is a documented platform-policy asymmetry, because downvote brigades are treated as harassment vectors. YouTube's spam detection treats sudden dislike velocity on comments as an attack signal (separate from the now-hidden public dislike count on videos). Quora's vote-weight algorithm aggressively demotes answers that receive bursty downvote patterns and can flag the downvoting accounts themselves. We mitigate by pacing slow (6-72 hours instead of the 1-12 hours we use for upvotes), by drawing votes from accounts with mixed upvote/downvote history so the pattern looks like genuine disagreement, and by capping per-target volume. We do not eliminate the risk and we say so before you order.
Will my account or my brand's account be banned for receiving downvotes?
If you are using our service to defend your own content, the answer is generally no — platforms penalise the accounts that cast manipulated votes, not the recipients. We use our own account pool; you never share credentials with us, never log in to our system, and never expose your account to the voting process. The risk surface on your side is limited to the target page or comment being moderated for unrelated reasons during the campaign. We explicitly refuse any order that asks us to use your account to cast downvotes — that is an account-burn vector and it crosses our ethical line in the same direction (instrumentalising your account against others).

Pricing & payment

How much do downvotes cost and why are they priced like upvotes?
$9.99 per 100 at the entry tier, dropping to roughly $0.045 per vote at the 20,000 bulk tier. The pricing mirrors our upvote service because the underlying delivery model is identical — same aged accounts, same residential IP pool, same CAPTCHA handling, same human operators. The button click direction is the only difference. We don't charge a "risk premium" for downvotes; the manual founder screening is built into the model and absorbed in operational overhead. If anything, the slower pacing means downvote campaigns take longer to complete than equivalent-sized upvote campaigns, so per-hour-of-operator-time the margin is thinner.
What is your refund policy on downvote orders?
Full refund in five situations: (1) the founder refuses your order on ethical grounds after review — automatic 24-hour refund; (2) the target post, comment, or thread is removed by platform moderators before we begin delivery; (3) the target account closes, gets banned, or makes the content private mid-campaign and we cannot complete the agreed vote count; (4) the platform's anti-fraud stack removes more than 30% of delivered votes within 48 hours of delivery; (5) we fail to deliver within the agreed window. Refunds reach your original payment method within 3 business days. We do not refund successfully delivered downvotes that were later removed because of action on your side (e.g. you ran a parallel cheap bot panel that triggered a sweep on the target).
What payment methods do you accept for downvote orders?
Card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, and crypto (USDT TRC-20/ERC-20/BEP-20, BTC, ETH, USDC, BNB). Crypto orders earn an instant 5% bonus on the vote count. Because every downvote order requires founder review before payment is captured, you'll receive a one-time payment link in chat after the scope confirmation — we don't capture payment until both sides have agreed in writing on what will and will not be delivered. For orders above $1,000 we issue a custom invoice payable via Wise or SWIFT.

Platform specifics

Can you remove a YouTube video by mass-disliking it?
No, and we will save you the money by telling you up front: YouTube removed the public dislike counter in November 2021 (creators still see it privately, viewers don't). Dislikes no longer suppress recommendations the way they did pre-2021, so mass-disliking a video has minimal effect on its reach. If your real goal is to push back against a video that's spreading misinformation about your brand, the productive paths are a documented counter-statement, a DMCA notice if there is genuine infringement, a defamation letter from counsel if the claims are factually false and damaging, or a YouTube Trusted Flagger report if the video violates Community Guidelines. We will tell you all of this in chat instead of taking your order, because there is no honest version of this product that works.
What platforms do you support for downvotes?
Reddit (posts and comments), Quora (answers and comments), YouTube (comments only — public dislike counter on videos was removed in 2021 and we will not sell you something with no effect), Hacker News (story and comment downvotes — flagging is a separate workflow we do not offer), and Disqus comment threads on news sites and blogs. We do not offer downvotes on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter/X because none of those platforms expose a public downvote mechanic — services claiming otherwise are mislabelling other actions (report-spam, hide, mute) as downvotes.

Custom orders

Can you handle a multi-week defensive campaign against an ongoing brigade?
Yes — this is one of our two largest order types. The pattern: a coordinated attack on your brand or content runs for several days or weeks, and you need sustained counter-pressure rather than a one-shot delivery. We structure these as weekly tranches with a check-in between each tranche, so the campaign can be paused, escalated, or wound down depending on what the attacker does. Pricing for sustained defensive campaigns drops 15-25% versus the standard tier rates because we can pace more efficiently across a longer window. Open live chat with a description of the attack pattern (how many votes per day on the attacker side, which content is hit, what's already been tried) and we will scope it from there.

Terminology — quick definitions

Niche-specific terms used on this page. Each links to a fuller definition in our glossary.

reCAPTCHA v3
Google's score-based invisible CAPTCHA. Assigns each session a risk score from 0.0 (bot) to 1.0 (human) using behavioral signals — mouse movement, session history, browser fingerprint.
Cloudflare Turnstile
Privacy-focused CAPTCHA alternative from Cloudflare. Uses cryptographic challenge tokens instead of image puzzles. Becoming the standard for contest platforms in 2025-2026.
Residential IP
A real consumer-grade internet address assigned by an ISP to a household. Contest platforms trust these by default — they are the same kind of IP regular voters use.
Mobile IP
IP allocated by a mobile carrier (4G/5G). Highest trust rating with platforms — rotates naturally, hardest to flag as bot activity.
Vote drop
A vote removed by the contest platform after delivery. Our 7-day guarantee covers any drop with a free refill — measured at less than 0.3% of all votes delivered.
Pacing pattern
The time distribution of incoming votes across a campaign window. Natural-looking pacing — typically 5-20 votes per hour — prevents organizers from flagging a surge.
