Is that worse than troll?
Kubo was the ultimate troll, to give you an idea of his level of trolling, he told Ichigo that everything that had happened up until then had been something he staged, his entire life was all staged by him.

Fans started to get tired of his trolling at this point as well and the popularity suffered and it soon got knocked out of the Monster three club, Even when the trolling decreased the popularity never recovered, though for some reason this was also around the time Kishi started trolling his fanbase...it makes you wonder if this was due to one of the editors from Bleach getting assigned to Kishi. I really don't understand the reason why mangaka's troll their fans so much, it does not benifit them at all, Bleachs popularity suffered because of it, Naruto's popularity also suffered even Fairy Tail popularity has suffered because the mangaka has the habit of ending on a cliffhanger only to dissapoint the following week.
I remember a comic strip when the war arc was going to start, I remember laughing at the time because I thought it was funny, and now it makes me want to cry because it turned out to what Kishi did in the end....if only he looked at Oda-sensie and not troll his fanbase.

So RtN is more canon than the Last then? Because RtN was Kishi's story, he came up with the idea, the plot, setting etc, (atleast I've not read anything contradicting this) where Kishi admitted he didn't write the Last story he was responsible for the charactor design and tweaking story to make sure it fit into his story, atleast that is what I understood from his interviews.
