The account eventually gains some level of recognition - while you have vocal haters, you also have people that upvote their content (likely based on the username) to the frontpage. Most of what gallowboob posts is garbage and I guarantee you that if it was coming from accounts with less karma or notariety it wouldn't reach the front-page. You have to consider that some of the people upvoting are people commenting on the threads.
