The top hits for my "WSB" search are:

  • World Sports Betting

  • r/WallStreetBets

  • World Superbikes

I don't think any of their goons are astroturfing (well, maybe World Superbikes). Did you mean a different entity?

    Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.

    See: Israel's hasbara apparatus,

    GCHQ leaked documents on infiltrating and derailing socialist discussions,

    Church Committee Hearings,

    "The Cultural Cold War" by Frances Stonor Saunders.

    Astroturfing is definitely a thing that exists but what evidence is there that palantir the company is spending resources that way?

    Most companies have marketing and PR departments, not GCHQ and IDF veterans
