Not all that different from the 18th century "claque," when theater owners or playwrights would pay groups to attend their performances and applaud loudly. A variant was paying a group to boo and hiss a rival production.

A line doesn't make me want to go to a place. I prefer someplace that's not super crowded, though obviously not totally empty.
