Reddit posts can have very counterintuitive voting patterns, but that alone not evidence of astroturfing (coordinated brigading is a different issue).

That's usually brigading but also spam and dog whistle topics. Also some early vote manipulation on the new submission can have a lot of impact using very few accounts.
