I went from 80+ ROI into the negative quickly. I dont believe this is because I have a lot of huge holes in my game.
200 final tables live? What does that even mean
Your online results are due to sample size. +80% ROI was not an indication of anything either even if it led you to believe something about your expected results.

One should always be alert, but you will do yourself better worrying about opponents and possible collusion compared to any conspiracy by a huge company to make you lose a few bucks for no gain on their part. I mean if they are pulling that off what are you even going to do about it?

If you started worrying about whether the card manufactures put addicting drugs on their cards that will be absorbed through the skin because the owners are also maybe drug runners and want to build business - yeah you are in "umm ok" territory. Worry about if a couple of the players are colluding against you if you need to have your paranoia work for you.
Same online - worry about actual issues, not superbots.

I get the feeling that some of the people responding here return for the same reason.
A lot of the "underdogs" you root for say a lot of directly mean things toward other posters or to the industry/sites in general without backing their claims.
You generally root for underdogs that accuse everyone else of being criminals out to rob them?
