I completely agree! I'll give the benefit of the doubt, but if it's the same comment over and over or it is incoherent, those are red flags that it's a bot!

and as far as the votes being greater than views, I think a lot of people sometimes will just click on the upvote in the feed if they think an article title is enticing enough that it will go viral, so that they can get curation rewards. I like to read content before upvoting it personally! :)
