I have noticed lately that on instagram and twitter (X) I get a lot of posts concerning groups I don’t Stan. I keep blocking the accounts and saying “not interested” but specific communities and group reoccur on my TL. I don’t do this out hate. I am simply not interested in seeing fandom specific posts about groups I don’t listen to. Most of the groups I see posts of come from a certain company, and no matter what I do to avoid it they always come back. What is even more annoying is the only K-pop group I Stan, I barely get to see their posts, although I follow a lot of accounts and interact with the posts in a positive way. This leads me to believe that a company pays the socmeds to push them in the algorithm. And I think it is not only used in K-pop but politics and for other western artists as well.
What makes me think that now K-pop accounts are run by bots is as well the amount of targeted hate towards certain groups and the fact that all the comments toward them are repeating. All of them got thousands and thousands of likes. And yes, maybe people are discontent, but it’s really strange that it’s the two same phrases used to criticize the group that are under every video. I think also some more prominent accounts are paid to criticize them in a funny way. I am not saying it to defend it. I do not Stan this particular group and have nothing against them. I don’t care about the hate or the positive but I am constantly shown hate videos although I do not interact with them.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this or maybe my algorithm and screen time is so high I notice it. But man, I go into these socials to see my favorite group not some fanwars 😭
