That`s a possibility.

But it`s wise to remember that in Dreamscaperers, when they are in Stan`s subconscious, they stumble upon a memory, the one in which Stan opens the vending machine and Soos immediatly shuts the door right before Stan says what he hid there. And right after that, Soos simply says "Boring!" The audience at that point is led to believe that Bill took his place, but he could very well already know what was going on behind that vending machine. Remember the trick Mabel showed him in the past to make the vending machine work to which he taught her later in the future/present? Maybe he used a little too much force on the machine and got it open, ad that lead him to eventually find out about whatever was going on downstairs, maybe even when he was still a kid.

Regardless, if we go back to the main theory and consider that Bill was indeed controlling Soos: what if Bill is able to control Soos like that whenever he wants? What if "Soos just playing dumb" is actually Bill playing the lovable goof? Just a mask he`d use, to always keep an eye on the Pines.

Perhaps Bill is always watching because he can control or enter the minds of other people and see things through their eyes, possibly even without their knowledge?

Just various thoughts.
