not really. he's just getting paid per interaction, upvote, downvote, doesn't matter.

Who is paying for these interactions and what do they get out of it. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or nothing I'm just trying to figure out who would pay for someone to troll online especially some obscure website like this

"obscure website."

Seen this meme too. Graph-analysis looks for 'linking' websites or 'bottlenecks' in information flow throughout non-mainstream, alternative, and political communities. In otherwords, small "obscure" websites can have a big impact.

And thats why you see paid posters online. On average they make something of around $10-12 an hour.
The u.s. army, navy, airforce, fbi, dhs, israeli jidf, british gchq, chinese mss, new zealand, australia, and numerous NGOs all pay for monitoring and interacting/steering communities, both large, and even very small, online.

The most recent estimates put the number of total people employed in the "information-steering" industry, i.e. influencers, puts the numbers north of half a million people globally, with the numbers for the u.s. at somewhere between 15-20k people.
