Today I learned people sharing their opinions is "astroturfing"

They are all being posted by the same account.

Almost all the dogshit takes in this thread are being posted by the same account, but I don't accuse you of astroturfing

One person posting a lot is not astroturfing. Astroturfing is about faking the appearance that many different people support the same cause. If it's the same account doing all the posting then they're not trying to give the appearance of being many different people.

At worst you could call it spamming. But personally I hope they keep up the spamming because seeing all troglodyte meat industry shills make asses out of themselves is giving me a new lease on life.
