How bashers are paid
How bashers are paidNot sure if the numbers are correct, they probably get paid much less that the author suggests.
But certainly we can see why they troll and insult other posters. It's simply to get a response. If you are targeted by their trolling and feel a need to respond, I would suggest NOT hitting the "reply" button. Instead, put your reply in a new post, that way they can't get credit for a response to their original post.
how bashers are paid:
When you REPLY to bashers you give them an opportunity to earn 5-7 bucks. The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Money Manager's and the like don't have the time to check all their bashers messages. Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who manage the basher will generally read the headlines to see if a basher is replying to other posters by name. That tells them the basher isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those. A basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way the basher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible. A basher will create this discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows the basher more time to post and make money.
