We have regular and consistent trolls on this forum trying to run interference for ideologies we clearly hate, but they keep at it. I don't doubt for a second that the big companies like Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, or whoever else are paying some 3rd world company to run through trending videos and hashtags to defend them no matter what they do. That's also not counting the loyal dogs doing it for free like the meme.

A lot of people balk at imagining how many paid shills there are on the Internet. Imagine you run a billion dollar company, and hiring a shill farm boosts your company value by 0.1%. That's a million bucks. Do you think the shills and bot farms cost them a million bucks a year?
