Wouldn't it be more likely corporations like Google's Aplhabet or Facebook would buy a lot of steem with an anon account and do what you're saying.

As we know, Operation Mockingbrid was conducted by the CIA in the 50s to infiltrate and control media. So, it stands to reason there are already plans for these trolls to influence this network.

But, I am going to hold out hope that they are much too far behind the times and too concerned with controlling legacy media for them to make a difference here.

Granted, I did state in post about not being able to get into my Dtube account with my Steemit pass code that perhaps I was experiencing a cyber attack against Dtube.
