No it’s when there’s mysteriously dozens of comments just magically showing up that are contrary to the vastly popular opinion on only one contentious issue, that serve the best interests of an entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion through fake grassroots posting.

Anyone with half a brain can see what’s going on. I’m not playing these silly obfuscation games. You’re bad at what you do.
