An army of shitposters magically finding their way to this thread, learning to speak English for the first time in their lives, etc indicates that the OP doesn't have 7 pages of real support. Those are either OP's sockpuppets or some telegram lemmings told to go post here.

The word that you seek is “meatpuppet”, a term that I am introducing to this forum from Wikipedia’s editing community; for a correct usage example:

I think that merit source privileges should be subject to periodic review—and “unapplications”, in case of those who systematically abuse source merits as a political tool to build their own meatpuppet armies.

Shitposters streaming in from a TG channel most assuredly qualify as meatpuppets.

Observe that the WP:MEATPUPPET link redirects to WP:SOCKPUPPET, and both related concepts are defined and discussed on the same page. “Oh, see my support from all of these bounty-chasers who came from my TG channel, created new accounts, and posted what I told them to!” is textbook greedy shill meatpuppetry, not different in practice than sockpuppetry. Moreover, I think that it qualifies as incentivized forum spam; such spam should be deleted by the moderators, given sufficient evidence that that is the source of the flood of “supportive” Newbie posts. If I had time to kill seriously investigating each account on a case-by-case basis, I would also consider tagging such accounts.

A general note, while I am defining new terms to the forum: Judiciousness must be used in accusations of meatpuppetry. People who happen to agree, or who simply are friends, are not thereby automatically meatpuppets of each other. In my opinion, in the abstract, the key question is whether or not people are exercising independent judgment and voicing their own independent opinions. Wikipedia’s definition offers us one clear indicator that they are not, and it is directly applicable to this thread:

Persuading friends or colleagues to create accounts for the purpose of supporting one side of a dispute (usually called meatpuppetry)

See also, “astroturfing”.

You know that I am a loose cannon, even moreso than Lauda.

That domain could have sold for six figures, but associating it with a ponzi destroyed that. :/

I see what you did there.

Now, I will buy it for chump change^* and permanently redirect it to the Catbat Witch’s goodbye thread. 😼

* For users who have been BANNED by Sarcasm, I should explain: Maybe not six figures; and I doubt that the value of the domain on the “domainer” market is not really affected by whatever garbage it has showed. That they use the domain for this rather than selling it illustrates how profitable SCAMS can be for those at the top of the pyramid, at least for awhile... For comparison, bitcoin.com would still be worth plenty—despite its currently being abused to host a scam. Vod cast a hell of a pun, and I am exercising humour under its spell.
