Mr.Nini: the mysterious troll who posts in the small hours and changes aliases
4 a.m. An anonymous user, known as Mr.Nini, is in full swing. Who is he? Why does he spend so many hours online? Suspicion points to an elderly person, possibly 70 years old, receiving the Ingreso Mínimo Vital (Spain's minimum living income). Others suggest he uses multiple accounts to simulate conversation.
The hallmarks of an unusual behaviour
Constant alias changes, often when nobody is talking to him, are a recognisable pattern. Up to three active accounts are said to be backing each other up. It is also mentioned that he spends time writing long texts that barely get any response, apart from jokes.
The troll's economy: incentive or pathology?
Is he paid to write? It seems not, since the forum is known to be in the red and in no need of cheerleaders. The IMV hypothesis suggests he has plenty of free time. The alternative is a personality disorder, such as the 14 identities some attribute to him.
The puzzling detail: at 70 years old and with relentless overnight output, the profile fits no stereotype of a young troll. The Mr.Nini enigma remains unsolved.
