Both of their legal teams utilized bots to drive online discussions[1][2]

Neither of these sources support this claim as none of them include any discussion on Amber Heard('s legal team) using bots?

Indeed, seeing how slanted online discussion was, I suspect one side had many more bots, and I'm not sure if the other side had any.

    I think your bias is showing. From what I recall, both sides employed the exact same tactics, and we often saw blatantly inorganic discussions popping up in random subreddits on how $(SIDE_A) was the real villain and $(SIDE_B) only had supports because they were paid bots driven by their PR firm.

    Things reached a point where I'm sure the same template was used by each counterpart.

    On a bigger picture, I'm not sure why anyone still goes to places like reddit and believes anything showing up in the mainpage is still organic.

    • Is there any writing outside of your recollection that says the Heard side was using bots? Afaik all reporting suggested it was one sided, and not her side
