Weird bot/sock puppet behavior around controversy time...

Hi all!

I wanted your opinion on something I'm noticing. Specifically with certain "members" of this "community" who claim to hold PhDs in literature and own gaming companies while also working full time in game dev:

Do y'all notice the timing of certain narratives that pick up steam around controversy time? Right now, the narrative is "westerners are being too whiny about sylus" and "sylus fans need to stop taking attention away from caleb". And I notice these narratives pop up FREQUENTLY around controversy time.

I'd love folks' thoughts on this because I've also seen certain people who pretend to be CN living in the US use multiple sock puppet accounts to spread those narratives (always sounding the same too) whenever infold is facing heat from the fandom, esp in CN. I also see them getting a lot of bot engagement in the likes/upvotes department.

I'd love folks' thoughts on this. I think we all know that bots/sock puppets are unfortunately very commonly used by organizations/groups who want to control public perception. There's a lot of buzz around Infold doing just that.
