Seems Like IBM Trolls Use Chatbots to Vandalise Platform That Discusses IBM's Secret Layoffs, Forever Layoffs

Typically the goal is to offload something off-putting, distracting/detracting from the rest, or to make regular visitors/casual posters lose interest in the site (disgust or lessening of readers-base). It's a known, widely-recognised corporate AstroTurfing tactic.
