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.

    • Elon helped her a bit, but the Hollywood moguls were better in directing the outcome

      That's a rather disingenuous attempt to cast doubt on something. You are free to ignore what I said, but your sudden interest in upholding high standards on certifying observations this deep in the chat, while ignoring any step in between, is already telling.
