Gorilla marketing and bot farms have been around for a very long time. There are bot farms to amplify all sorts of messages. A friend who is a 'performance artest' paid almost nothing to have his linked-in account amplified by a large number of nonsense accounts on that platform. 'creators' frequently buy followers so 'the algorythm' will surface their 'content'. My first roommate 20 years ago almost got a job riding the train and having 'organic' conversations about how great some product is. My solution is to buy nothing and poke and laugh at everything.
