All the classic signs of undeclared paid/COI editing for a client.

Kjersti Flaa reeks of it. I seriously question whether this BLP will survive an AFD.

And predictably, Baldoni's article is a constant target of edit warring. Just gets longer and not better. The legal battle will eventually be the BULK of the article if this continues--and it probably will.

It really will come to a head. The author of the Substack article said on Reddit that he's friends with a NYT journalist who're currently looking into the story.

The Substack was made private....plus there was a Reddit thread, which the r/justinbaldoni mods removed (as usual, Reddit is censored for their protection and the hell with you)
https://www.reddit.com/r/JustinBaldoni/ ... ?rdt=49987

That subreddit is one of the more toxic I've seen recently. Reminds me a bit of r/thedonald or various Musk related subreddits. Excellent candidate for future nukery by Reddit staff, especially if Lively's lawyers start poking Reddit.
