Astroturfing is everywhere, from marketing to politics. I don't give a fuck about iPhones, like I don't give a fuck about who is the president. In the beginning of internet, almost everyone was normal like me. Today the elite have learned how powerful the internet is for propaganda, so they started employing shitloads of bots and shills for astroturfing, to make believe like people suddenly care about overpriced iPhones or elections.
