i could use some extra income..and i'll work for whoever pays...just a question:

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by LostOne4Ever (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

do i get paid by the word, the posts, the replies, the post #, or what...?

the way it looks around here lately, there is SOME kind of industry generating the deluge of posts and i just want to know how to get a piece of the action...

hell, for the right money, i'll even post pro-Hillary shit...i'll just cut & paste all the ones flooding DU...

surely Brock wouldn't penalize me for plagiarism....

...called Applied Memetics that one of 4chan's more...notorious boards caught in the act. You might try them just on principle lol.

There's thousands of these companies now. If you think more than maybe MAYBE 1/8 posts are real, you're probably overestimating. I honestly thought they were a myth for years, but if you stay long enough in the right places, you'll see rock-solid evidence float by (or at least as rock solid as is humanly possible with something like the internet). I guess I just don't have that power-hungry money-hungry lie-hungry spirit it takes to do this kind of thing, though, so I'll just have to do without that dime a post (or whatever it is now, that's the number I've heard floated a lot but it sounds kind of high, honestly).

Many Hillary posts are bought and paid for?

I saw one new poster here who has, over the last 90 days, posted 40 times a day. And hardly one post made any sense, just cents for the poster.
