Not only the names that specifically mentioned in that post, there are far too many that do not read posts or threads in order to understand any context yet they would post. Those reading the posts would conclude they were made for the sake of posting (to meet the campaign quota in order to receive payment or increase post count) yet they would not stop at other threads too.

Whether mindless bots or not, the forum has huge numbers of farmed accounts that earn via signature campaigns by posting low quality context.

Such phrases are often used by those members who actually want to complete the required posts data. A good member gives more than enough time to first read the OP and then the posts of others members and when he/she knows that he/she can share some valuable information directly by quoting OP or by quoting posts of other members, then and only then he/she writes the post.

While on the other hand, the ones who want to complete their weekly requirement don't give much time to reading and directly jump into the discussion by writing generic information and nothing else. When someone checks gambling boards then there are members who write very long posts but no one really wants to read such long posts which lack good information.

The person you refer to that had left the forum had a valid point. How many posts can you read nowadays in any thread that demonstrates a conversation took place (or was taking place) rather than posts being made to meet campaign quotas? There are exceptions, for example in several boards you will find conversations flowing but the overall feel of decline increases.

Did everyone notice that the Knots people/filterbois in BitcoinTalk were newer accounts? Plus the way they were talking is as if they're already are familiar in the forum.

  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not accusing anyone of multi-accounting, but as you posted it shouldn't be a big surprise if the forum is being Sybil Attacked to sway opinion.

Most of these vocal, newer accounts strike me as organic: Knots believers who were motivated to join the forum to express their opinion... although there's definitely one or two who are not new to any of this. There isn't too many of them altogether tho, and if they are getting paid to sway opinion, whoever hired them should know they're doing an awful job. If anything they've only helped unify us on a few different issues.

That and about a hundred other reasons--though I might add that whilst there might have been a united front against those forkeroonies, there has always been drama, fighting among senior members of the forum, trusted members going rogue, and a devil's buffet of other things that always gave me a feeling that there was a palpable tension between a lot of different people and that the only thing that kept them from murdering each other was the damage to their forum reputation such a thing might cause.

I'm not done reading this thread, but I'm noticing that some members who are probably on the same side of the issue (whether it's AI use or just general shitposting) are talking past each other, and that isn't something I've seen much of in my time here.  I've also noticed that the last few posts by LoyceV sound like ones I could have easily written myself, i.e, sarcasm mixed with fast-dripping venom. 

Bitch, you betta not be jackin' my beats else you might find my bicycle tire tread marks on your rubbery forehead.
GOD I love this forum!!

Your contribution to the forum came to almost zero before you were enrolled in your current Bitz signature campaign. All you mostly did was to post in your Services thread reminding campaign managers you signature space was available for rent.

Now that you have to meet the post quota in order to be paid, I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of you.
