Jexodus
Hello, sorry there has not been a discussion opened on this before. The sources do not confirm the "astroturf" nature of Jexodus. Please find sources which can support this assertion before considering its addition here. I am confident that there are plenty of political astroturfing examples that are more robust and well-documented that could be put in its stead. Thank you. 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 07:27, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- From the Esquire ref (currently ref #55): Template:Tq and the Times of Israel ref (currently ref #56): Template:Tq But since you asked so nicely, I've added an additional ref to GQ (currently ref #54): Template:Tq, which almost exactly matches the definition of astroturfing in the first sentence of the lede in this Wikipedia article.

Meme world
I have no data to support this, but I suspect that a percentage of memes which appear to be the work, often (deliberately?) clumsy, of ‘civilians’, are in fact astroturfing efforts. --2001:44B8:3102:BB00:D8BD:B78:CA71:AFC2 (talk) 09:04, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Misquoted ?
‘The authors argued that astroturfing that is "purposefully designed to fulfill corporate agendas, manipulate public opinion and harm scientific research represents a serious lapse in ethical conduct."
They actually used the word ‘purposefully’ instead of ‘purposely’? I would have corrected this, had it been part of the article’s text.
My trust in the content of any written work diminishes in proportion to the sloppiness of its prose. --2001:44B8:3102:BB00:D8BD:B78:CA71:AFC2 (talk) 09:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
