It looks like there are many submissions now being downvoted across many subs.
Before the API change I never really noticed mass submissions with zero votes. Now i see multiple zero vote submissions daily and I browse Reddit for about 20 minutes a day. My feed is set to sort by hot, so I don't see many submissions that have just been created.
Is this a sign of the type of people using Reddit these days, a lack of moderation, or could there be some bots floating mass downvoting?

That might be the problem

People downvote more liberally now. Reddit, the world, has become a more hateful place.
ALSO, the reddit algorithm promotes more downvoted content now because drama and fights boost engagement.
