Yea, you're definitely right about that. Bots have been a problem for a while as well. Reddit has a lot of them, and Twitter has been absolutely rife with them for years. (To Twitter's credit, they're at least making substantial efforts to tackle the problem head on. Still way too many of them, but it at least seems to be improving.)
It's scary how much public perception can be manipulated online. I suppose this is nothing new, this sort of thing has happened for a while (even long before the internet, just in other ways through the different media and information outlets of the time).
