I strongly suspect that many of these accounts you think might be bots from the labs are just people who only have one interest.

One thing I have noted a lot more of is that there is comparative fanboying going on. Like "this model has done badly, my favoured competition has a model out soon that will beat this in every way" — comparing a released product to unverifiable hopey claims about an unreleased product.

It's tempting to assume that is bot stuff, but if you've been around any other "hot" technical hobby online (cameras, phones, 3d printers, whatever) you will know it's not. It's just fans aligning into teams, some of them laconic and amusing, some of them overkeen and toxic.
