Damn, that really is a relevant username.

I'll share a conspiracy theory of my pwn with you.

What if I told you, that the last refugee wave was large enough for some propoganda organizations to put this site on their radar?

What if I told you the concern trolls posting those threads/comments are the first wave of shills, whose goal is to slowly corrupt this site the same way most platforms (like many subreddits, in their time) get corrupted?
Notice how most of those concern trolls highlight problems that could actually be solved by their own participation - but, that would actually help the site, while their goal is clearly to (slowly) undermine it.

They will also cite the new influx of users as a good thing, and threaten it ends if $demandList isn't met, while in reality much of this activity is artifically created by those shills (not most votes, just the early spike that makes it visible enough for other people to upvote it for the sake of discussion).

This isn't going to stop, by the way - this is only going to get worse the more popular this site gets.

You just gave me a headache. Take a break from the internet, dude.

let's hope our glorious leadership isn't in it for the hits, but for the site itself.

Cancerous growth shouldn't appeal

Sorry, I'm not a shill
