That's ridiculous.
Yes, absolutely. "Audience plants" require no official backing on what they state. Official spokespersons and communications require accountability...whereas cheerleaders do not. In legalese mumbo jumbo it is called "Plausible Deniability", and is a common tactic to insert positive opinion where none or very little exists. My background is in Corporate Marketing. My company did it when we dropped the ball, and Ubisoft has shown by their actions over and over again that they are not above the same tactics. Do I have proof? Nope. Do I need proof? Nope. It is simply my opinion...but right or wrong I am not alone in thinking such cheerleading is taking place.
