Conspiracy theories existed long before the internet, Spike. They have a strong habit of morphing instead of dying.

If we have a system in which we create positive feedback loops by paying content providers a fraction of a cent for each like, then they create likebots which like the post a few hundred million times, how would we know any human ever liked that post?  If we have such a system, it is money laying unclaimed for anyone who can write a likebot, ja?  The conspiracy itself could have died long ago, but would still make money for the person who wrote and somehow deployed the likebot.
