Lol I would bet the majority of that crap is from just normal people.
yes. normal people getting paid to post that.
Seems extremely unlikely. There's very little reach on here compared to elsewhere. It's not easily quantifiable nor can it be easily verified. It's extremely easy to hack metrics. There's no business sense to pay someone for posts on the fediverse yet. Don't be paranoid and don't become conspiratorial.
Edit: added "yet" because those things could possibly change.
Anyone who disagrees with you is a bot amiright?
... wait, am I a bot?
We're all bots.
beep boop
Bad bot.
