A friend of mine writes pro m/m romance, and she has been asked to be on "street teams". What is a street team? It is people who deliberately seek out and comment on reviews of an author's books. She has turned down the requests because she thinks street teams are awful, but I was fascinated that there is an actual name for one's gang of dogpilers.
