- astroturfing:
- influencers being paid to promote a product while feigning an unbiased viewpoint
- Astroturfing campaigns attempt to mislead the public into believing that their opinion or position is shared by most people. A person's beliefs on particular topics are often influenced and shaped by the beliefs of others - therefore, by creating the impression that multiple people feel a certain way, people are more likely to "hop on the bandwagon."
