What I am saying is that I have seen a lot of evidence for organized/professional sentiment manipulation in 4chan, and there are tons of collected threads that describe how the organizations that are paid to post in 4chan work. I assume it is a professional service being sold.
For example, every time I tried to make threads around this YouTube video exposing the lobbying practices of Exxon Mobile against climate change fighting measures, my thread would get derailed into racist stuff that had nothing to do with the video and would get the thread eventually locked.

- numpad0 5y agoOh, Internet shills are real. What I personally found funny is apparently shills for Tesla cars is substituted with own lightly trained staffs and they are sort of prone to manipulation themselves. But calling out Exxon on 4chan? That’s brave.
- DevKoala 5y agoWatch the video, see who is implied in the video and then you will understand why the thread kept getting nuked.
- happytoexplain 5y agoTrust me, nobody needs to pay people to deny climate change and make racist shitposts on 4chan.
