Yeah, you can find vocal people who will play the apologist for just about anything, it‘s baffling to the degree that I wonder if there‘s paid actors on social media in this sense

Definitely paid actors. These companies all have social media teams. It's not improbable that they create fake personal accounts to post apologist bs.

They also can buy sock puppet accounts and use those.

Yeah, I'm sure Blizzard's really dumping a lot of resources into "shitposting on a Reddit clone with under 30k MAUs".

I wish. I'll bet Blizzard pays good.
