What’s with those newbie and rookie users only popping up when there is Drama ?

When there is Drama, suddenly accounts I usually don’t see commenting in here are participating in hot Threads and giving reactions.

Are people using alts to comment on certain topics or to positive reactions to their own comments or negative ones to others? This is weird. This are all newbie or rookie accounts, obviously not often used.

I did notice but so far it is just genuinely shy users who love to pop up when people decide to be silly because it is entertaining to them.

Oh what a coincidence lmfao

Quote from ViWinters

definitely alts bc they'll comment with the exact same writing styles and emojis as their mains + heart and/or like their own comments

I mean, at least try to write differently.

Why would you create an account just to reply or upvote your own comment….. i will add this to the weirdest things I’ve seen on Forums…

I’m pretty sure one and the same person has replied to me with two different accounts on the same Threads… this is so funny

don't be surprised if people create multiple throwaway accounts for the purpose of downvoting or upvoting certain articles.

especially when those people want to gang up on a certain idol group they collectively hate and write shitty comments then upvote the said shit comments.

Creating several accounts to gang on someone ?

Quote from quarkie

Some of it is just people looking for an opportunity to post a hot take or a drag while passing through. I'm betting a lot of it are alts looking to stir the pot. Like I know the news side there used to be someone with at least a dozen accounts and would purposely downvote articles and comments that disagreed with her while pretending to be different people all obsessed with the same person.

Another edition of when you take the internet to serious… wow
