Are some people (Say, Rick K) paid to influence elections by posting on the internet?

stthomasonsax asked:


I see a lot of suspicious voting patterns and a lot of suspicious posting patterns on here. I wonder if some political campaigns or political parties have people trying to shape public opinion by being disproportionately loud and ubiquitous on the internet.

For instance, I’m 99% certain Rick K works for Rudy Giuliani. Nobody likes Rudy Giuliani that much. None of Rudy Giuliani’s wives liked Rudy Giuliani that much.

I’m not a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, it just seems odd that there are people who seem to sit around and jump on the same angle of every debate over and over again. That’s not how people generally like to use their free time.

If I were trying to run a slick grassroots-looking marketing campaign for a presidential candidate and I had millions of dollars in corporate money to work with, I’d certainly try to work the internet that way.

What do you guys think?
And if there are paid shills out there, what we can do to identify them and make people aware of them?
