These kinds of posts make up like 90% of /pol/ and /k/, which definitely lends credence to this idea. The amount of shills and bots on those boards are absolutely insane.

    It was pretty bad even a couple years back but it's so much worse now. They spam demoralization there because they know that it works, at least on some people, and idiots on /pol/ feed them and keep them coming back for more.

    /k/ has always had some level of partisan shilling but these days its basically 90% Ukraine threads. Shills and people pretending to be shills to piss people off make up a shocking number of posters on the board. Not to mention more typical leftist shills.

    /k/ has long been in the crosshairs of leftypol and their ilk, and there's screenshots of posts there specifically namedropping /k/ as a shilling target. 4chan in general is just so easy to astroturf and bot because the greatest asset to 4chan, the semi-anonymity and "almost anything goes" attitude and culture, is also a massive vulnerability.
