    Before I start you guys need to know about a special type of group in China called the 50 Cent Army. They are groups and individuals paid to comment, and spread propaganda for the interest of China's agenda and ideals in social media and various types of forums.

    But not only that they're also paid for damage control and helping companies reputations.

    Now the reason I say this is, ever since the Qidian and WW conflict started tons of accounts that's recently been created has been commenting on their side without any hard facts but just generally trying to boost their reputation back up.

    I may be wrong but I just want to let you guys have an open opinion on each comment before you say your own.

    Here's an article about 450 million fake comments in social media by the 50 Cent Army
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ion-social-media-comments-a-year-this-is-why/

    Make sure you do your own research also, there's also tons of daily articles about this and the 50 Cent Army is growing daily.

    Honestly, seems like the low down dirty shit that the Chinese Government and apparently, Qidian would do.

    Well researchers and insiders say they are paid small amounts of money for each comment, I guess they round it off to 50 cent.

    off topic, but I can't help but ask: WHERE'S BREAKERS SEASON 3???? (And I like your profile pic).

    On topic, I already had an idea about this occurrence from reading I'm Really a Superstar (the things reading can teach you).
