Dumping gasoline on the trash fire, as it were.
The last eight years of internet nonsense about Obama have shown that there isn't really any extra fuel to add to these things. Perhaps we'd have seen the same about Bush except Facebook wasn't a thing yet, MySpace didn't have the same mechanics to spread disinformation and Twitter didn't exist. Our current president has been the one lucky enough to live in this age of trolls and people just trying to spread lies.
So I don't really think that anything Clinton (or a firm hired by) is going to "make it worse". As you already said, these people are doing it for kicks -- it's not as though they liked kicks any less a month ago. Add to that the bitter Bernie kids pouty that Sanders isn't going to win and the basement misogynists mad that a woman dares to be in the spotlight and "adding gasoline" is likely pouring some fuel on a nuclear blast: largely inconsequential.
