[quote=Anonymous]It is very clear that Jed was hired to do damage to Blake. That was his job and I am pretty sure that kind of thing happens a lot - there is a ton of manipulation of online content to bias and misinform readers. Whether they use bots or people / accounts, it isn't that hard to shift a narrative. You see it on many posts on reddit about all kinds of things. Someone will post as though they have some kind of insider information and boom, the tide turns. Or they spam the same misinformation or posts or pictures until there is a familiarity bias. There are thousands of ways to bias people.

It does seem as though Jed and co were very good at covering their tracks. Makes sense - he is probably tech savvy and got this job because he has a track record of being good at it. For him it wouldn't have been personal - he likely couldn't have cared less about the movie or the players, he was just hired to make Blake look bad and Baldoni look good and he did it.

You would think with modern technology, there are people who could recover everything that has not yet surfaced - but maybe there are ways to permanently delete things and make them non recoverable.

Everyone has a PR team that is working overtime online when there is an issue coming out. In this case, Wayfarer needed a fast change in reader view, so they hired someone specifically to do that.

I once watched an interview or TV program with Lil Nas X. He by himself studied up on how best to influence online and was able to single handedly get his song to go viral and to influence the trajectory of his song. It was a pretty interesting and detailed plan. And he was one guy who learned this by himself and did it by himself just with a ton of very strategic posting. Imagine someone who does it for a living and has a team of people.[/quote]
