Could be partly organic as Putin says, but it feels like more than just random shilling/dooming. I'm seeing the same kind of messaging about Trump across platforms..."it's over", "he gave up on you", "it was doomed from the start". Seems like a coordinated effort to totally demoralize the opposition.

And obviously they finally zombified /r/conspiracy, so it makes sense that they'd want to neutralize this site too. Free speech and investigation is their enemy right now, so they're going all out to stop it.
