They're karma chameleons.
That said, the sock puppet thing is one of the interwebs most nefarious trolls. Especially among eBooks. There are some "authors" who have, six, seven, ten puppets to bump their amazon reviews "GREAT BOOK!" "Mom lived it!" "This book gave me six "o" faces in a week!"
And troll their competition. "Worst. Book. Evar." "I h8 dis."
So forth and so on...
There's a couple of highly nefarious and well known ones whose names I will not mention because they're like boogeymen. And when you said their name and spin in a circle, they eat your cat and steal your soul.
That said, I've been around for a while and can give a pretty decent number of K* Cookies, they usually go to people who make me smile, make me laugh, make a whole lot of sense, or hell...even sometimes make no damn sense at all.
