*sigh* It was gonna happen eventually but it sucks that even Lemmy is getting astroturfed.

it's not astroturfing. it's an ad, but it's not astroturfing. these are real lemmings who genuinely enjoy sucking corporate dick for free. so pathetic.

Some of them are, but I find it hard to believe they all are. I think at least one person with a few accounts is astroturfing here. I don't think they are necessarily paid by taco bell, though. It looks like someone is just testing the waters here.
