The site is under attack by paid employees of a social media influencing organization. They're trying to disrupt the site, and demoralize the users into going away by inspring "screw this, too much bullshit, I'm outta here" attitudes. They get training and everything. The hard left got a ton of cash dumped on it in 2020 and this is the result. Their day job is figuring out ways to fuck up our nice site.

This. They did it to Voat and even amplified the nonstop frontpage posts with such clever titles as "NIGGERS NIGGERS NIGGERS!" which helped drive more normal people away.

First of all, yawn

Second of all (and I'm not doubting you here because it sounds reasonable), do we atleast have a "base case" or possible example company that could be doing this. Like, any company, anywhere in the world known to do this for sure.
