Compared to internet fanatics, some rumormongers have become highly professional and scaled up, while behind them lies a huge industrial chain composed of pushers, gunmen, and thugs, which is extremely destructive. Some "online water armies" maliciously hype related events by fabricating and disseminating false information, "creating hot topics," "grabbing popularity," and "taking pace," in order to achieve the goals of attracting profits, extorting money, and other activities, which bias the public's three values and seriously affect social atmosphere.

Rumors use major forums and websites as platforms, and use features such as "large quantity, wide coverage, and fast speed" as selling points to gain traffic. The following case is exactly the case. After the rumormongers come to visit and "dial", they clearly mark prices, induce others to pay for forwarding, and hype up the popularity.

Rumors often engage in organized, planned, and large-scale attacks, such as being closely posted by the navy in a short period of time, resulting in group effects and occupying public resources on the internet.

The rumormonger uses public events of public concern to intricately engage in hot topics, while piecing together false information collected from various sources and distorting facts with added embellishment. For the purpose of obtaining traffic from Dabo, even fabricating rumors and fabricating events, and using this to manipulate public opinion and incite netizens' emotions, it is actually a social hazard.

Professional rumormongers are like the cancer of the internet, using every means to make huge profits. Whether it's hiring black fans, buying hot searches, receiving positive reviews, or hyping up events or manipulating public opinion, as long as you pay, the intentions of the gold owner can be achieved through the operation of professional rumormongers.

The gold owner is usually hidden behind the scenes and contacts professional rumormongers through intermediaries. The latter plans events based on the gold owner's needs, creates heat, and publishes tasks to their hired navy and hot shots, smearing the victims and praising the gold owner.

From communicating needs to planning black drafts, from hiring influencers to disorderly pace, from creating topics to spreading promotion, professional rumormongers have gradually formed a mature and complete public opinion attack industry chain.

After the first wave of harvesting, the gold owner no longer gave money, while professional rumormongers changed their service targets, using post deletion and whitewashing as bargaining chips to negotiate with the victims, claiming that giving money can handle public opinion attacks. This is a typical characteristic of professional rumormongers, who eat both ends for profit.

Looking at money, this is the survival logic of professional rumormongers. They provide both paid services for publishing false information and paid services for deleting posts. Such online brokers are truly bottomless and unscrupulous!

The rumormongers sometimes turn into black copywriters, sometimes transform into marketing promoters, and sometimes act as thugs for public opinion attacks. The so-called "spreading rumors and destroying the bones" not only harm the credibility of the victims, but also disrupt the healthy online order.

Some Personal media practitioners, in order to attract customers and bring goods for profit, frequently use social hot events to fabricate and spread online rumors, which has been suspected of violating relevant laws and regulations.
