Ms. Stupid got mad n block me. 🤣 My fave is the KOMCA member, not yours. Thanking the people he worked with for doing their job isn't the drag you think it is.
The level of self-brainwashing is insane. They genuinely believe Jimin is some ultra-talented artist no one can match. In BTS's 13-year career, he's the one who's consistently been dragged for poor live vocals in both group and solo performances. His fandom is delusional
@jiminsPjms13 Are you replying to the wrong post? 😂 Stupid. My fave does it all—godly vocals, top-notch dancing, and, most importantly, he actually enjoys performing, and the crowd enjoys the whole show. Your lot are the ones constantly barking and spreading bitterness everywhere. Tsk, tsk.
@cancan3009@NathanMike11636 Effort of mass buying and manipulated stream? Yea ofc you do hon. Say thanks to autotune technology that you fav has a career. Ohh and don't forget ao3 writer who always paint jimn as an omega in distress. Park jimn is a 30 yo with dicks and balls who refuse to improve his vocal
#jungkook’s GOLDEN is the 23rd best-selling album of the decade, with 11.87M units sold.
Highest-selling album by an Asian solo artist.

📍 Key definitions:
Astroturfing — When organizations manufacture the appearance of widespread support or backlash.
Astroposter/astroturfer — A real person paid to post content to manipulate public opinion. Real people can maintain convincing long-term personas; bots can't.
Sock puppet — A fake account run by someone with a separate online identity. One astroposter can run dozens of fake "fan" accounts.
UGC (user-generated content) — Content that looks fan-made rather than company-made. Companies prize it because it looks organic and trustworthy.
NDA — A contract prohibiting disclosure of confidential info. Fake fans hired by HYBE are under NDAs and will deny being paid. That's why specific paid accounts are hard to prove with certainty even when their behavior seems obvious.
Fandom engineering — When companies shape a fanbase's internal culture using fake fan accounts. They can dictate which opinions seem popular, what feels taboo, which ships get pushed, what fanworks get made, etc. Some paid accounts even write fanfics, post selfies and meet up with other fans.
Bot — An automated account. Inflates follower counts, floods comments, and algorithmically boosts posts. Most people know bots exist. What's less understood is that sophisticated astroturfing uses real humans roleplaying as ordinary fans.
