Yeah. I mean literally every big government has an online hired presence, at this point. As do most big corporations.

For example, Monsanto (now Bayer) is known to have a hired shill pool that is running forums 24/7. They look for negative mentions of their company and products, and then their shill network works those threads to make Monsanto and their products look better. Including forum-sliding negative comments and posts.

Now multiply that across hundreds of companies and governments, with thousands of incentives. And basically you get a ton of noise, that is trying to drown out real discussion. And now with AI bots, this process is automated.
