shills have been spaming a pastebin link full of stupid 'q is a larp' bullshit, flat earth memes, racist memes, pictures of shit covered toilets, all manner of useless crap to slide/derail the threads and make them look less appealing to any readers.
its not just that they post that stuff but that they spam it, alot, and have been told to stop by BO, but continue to do so anyway, they have been at it for MONTHS so if this is news to you, then lurk moar.
removed their shitposts causes the thread count to alter like in your screenshot, thats all it is.
if you want to allege its something more then that then provide proof.
cause the baseless allegation is another of the things the shills have been spamming. dont do their jobs for them..
