Appears to be another sock. The account was created three hours after RK777713's sockpuppets were blocked (see log) and made its first edit here on November 24, 2021, not even 24 hours after the block. The account has made edits exclusively to Talk:Ryan Kavanaugh, where they have made similar requests as RK777713 and its sock Knightedblog0934.

A new user who engages in the same behavior as another user in the same context, and who appears to be editing Wikipedia solely for that purpose, may be subject to the remedies applied to the user whose behavior they are joining.RK was blocked for legal threats with a dash of article ownership, and Garen has so far avoided that behavior. Their edits to Talk:Ryan Kavanaugh do have an air of promotionality to them, to be sure, and continued edits of that sort may result in sanctions (after due warnings and such), but I don't think this is a sufficiently clear-cut behavioral similarity to justify a meatpuppetry block. ANI may be a better venue for that sort of inquiry. But that's just my opinion. This is a complicated case that crosses over multiple kinds of policy violation, and if you would prefer I can reopen this and ping an admin-clerk. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 14:48, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Exclusive edits to Talk:Ryan Kavanaugh, making identical accusations and using similar arguments as previous sockpuppets, albeit a bit toned down (compare this to this and this). Also, somewhat similar writing style and use of "Thetruth" and the number 13 in username similar to previous sockpuppets User:ThePhoenixLives13 and User:Thetruth10011001. Behavioral evidence might not be enough to prove sockpuppetry, so a CU has been requested. Throast ( talk | contribs) 15:03, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

User created three days ago for what seems to be the sole purpose of baselessly accusing Popoki35 and me of being paid by "H3" to edit the Ryan Kavanaugh article, see diff and diff. The IP has made identical accusations at Popoki35's talk page here. Given the exposure, it could obviously be someone else with the same POV but also given that Kavanaugh has repeatedly demonstrated willingness to create new accounts to evade his block, I believe this is worth investigating. Tagging Tamzin who is familiar with the entire situation.
It might also be important to note that Garen67541, who has been suspiciously silent since January 16, is the only other user on Wikipedia as far as I'm aware to invoke this alleged COI of mine and Popoki35, see diff for an example. I think at this point, meatpuppetry on this user's part should be seriously considered. I want to remind everyone that the user was created 4 hours after RK777713's then most recent sockpuppet was blocked (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RK777713/Archive) and has since then almost exclusively edited the Ryan Kavanaugh article and its talk page, keen on removing "negative" information based on dubious arguments, as recently as January 16, diff.

Im sorry why does me not posting for 2 DAYS make me suspiciously silent ?
I have been accused several times of being a Sockpuppet, I have no affiliation with Ryan Kavanaugh. I would be more inclined to consider meatpuppetry on your part.
The top 3 editors on the Ryan Kavanaugh page are Throast (46.2%) Popoki35 (33.6%) Pabsoluterince (5%)
The breakdown can be seen here https://xtools.wmflabs.org/authorship/en.wikipedia.org/Ryan%20Kavanaugh
All 3 of these users have a history of editing the page of h3 productions ( /info/en/?search=H3h3Productions)

Ryan Kavanaugh and his company triller currently have ongoing lawsuits with the H3 Podcast, the podcast openly discuss this every week, they constantly talk about Ryans wikipedia and stream them reading it on there channel laughing at the latest content that has been added, they have made a defamatory website comparing him to the convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
The user Throast has in someway edited the wiki pages of nearly every person/company that H3 podcast has had issues with including: Shane Dawson, Trisha Pastas, Triller (Ryan Kavanaugh's Business), Moses Hacmon, Gabbie Hanna, David Dobrik, Relativity Media (Ryan Kavanaugh's Business)
Since the law suit has been announced these editors have been editing the page of Ryan Kavanaugh and the business’s he is invested in to add any piece of information regarding law suits that they can, Most are credible and from valid sources, but some of the reasoning for removing other content is outrageous and they are cherrypicking sections and not including a balanced amount of content for each argument. The same articles they reference contain positive info about his films produced or other businesses he has started yet when I raise a concern all 3 editors group together to tell me im wrong, despite me citing the specific wiki rules they are breaking. Such as NPOV, BALANCE, CHERRYPICKING, using articles with weasel words and over referencing the same articles, there are some articles that are cited over 17 times on the page!
Pabsoluterince has also removed an article from the H3 page which detailed racist remarks the h3 podcast made, it is was written on the dailydot.com which is on the approved perennial list. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=H3h3Productions&diff=1065981632&oldid=1065981331 The same editors from Ryan kavanaughs page edit the h3 page yet do not question each other regarding this.
The majority of the latest up to date articles regarding Ryan mention his new business venture triller and the many concerts, fight club events, versus raps battles and the app yet the only piece of information these editors added was this content to link the takeover with Donald trump and mention a lawsuit " 2019, Proxima Media acquired a majority stake in the video-sharing platform Triller, coinciding with the Trump administration's announcement that it intended to ban its more popular Chinese competitor TikTok in the US.[41] In 2020, Kavanaugh was named in a lawsuit alleging the unauthorized and unlawful use of a patented symbol in Triller's marketing for their Fight Club subsidiary.[42][43]’
The exact same happened previously with his films produced list, it only mentioned that he was denied a producing credit and that he didn't produce moneyball, they didn't think to mention 1 film he produced.
I am not questioning that the lawsuits and accusations should be included but why is that the only thing that is being added. Garen67541 ( talk) 17:36, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Similar language (compare "kindly assist" and "Regards" to "kindly revert", "kindly advise", and "Best regards"). RK777713 has previously complained about "his page being destroyed" ( diff) and this sockpuppet has added fluff to the Ryan Kavanaugh article, see diff, diff, diff. Both users refer to Ryan Kavanaugh by his first name. Sockpuppet's edits previous to the Ryan Kavanaugh article were probably made to gain autoconfirmed rights since the Ryan Kavanaugh article is semi-protected. Throast ( talk | contribs) 19:22, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
To clarify, although there hasn't been a formal investigation, Jayron32 considers H2H3fanbase2TP (whose edits I use for comparison above) to be a likely sockpuppet of RK777713, see block log. Throast ( talk | contribs) 21:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
