Might just be a bot. I’d see tons of comments relevant to post they were on but not relevant to the specific comment they replied to that you could find the original source of by searching that very post’s comments. They were almost always upvoted, even though many were aware of the pattern, simply because so many more weren’t aware of it.
The owner of the account probably isn’t even aware of what posts their bot is stealing, let alone that it was discovered. Though it might have code to detect detection to try to delete the posts before a moderator/admin steps in and bans the account entirely.
