There was a influencer caught saying like "it doesn't matter why and how good or bad they speak about me, it's important I'm being talked around"... If you post controversial stuff, it means more views, more people talking about you, people that agree with you might join your network or support you... That's true, you never know what's real or not now on someone opinion, I tend not to listen to famous people when it comes to stuff like that, for me it's done on purpose
