Yeah, right, by posting anonymously here on CD, they are building up their resumes. There are a number of people who seem to spend a lot of time on CD. Some say they are retired, or stay-at-home moms looking for intellectual stimulation. Others seem to be cheating their employers, including a number of very conservative posters.

Hmm, almost everything you post here it seems, is duplicated elsewhere.
Interesting.
We're not even getting originals here, how disappointing.

I WISH I was paid to post on here...considering how many times I post in such a short time, I'd be living in the lap of luxury. But alas, for some insane reason, I come on here to watch my blood pressure skyrocket.

If any, it must be an extremely small number since the majoity of posts on here aren't very pursuasive.
Either that or they're all way overpaid, even at a penny per post.

I can't specifically claim knowledge that folks were paid to post their support here, but I am convinced some were prior to the election.
You’re looking at this from one side only.
How about the Rs having people post letters to the editor that were cut & pasted from conservative sites for points that could be redeemed. https://www.gopamerica.net and https://www.gopamerica.org were among them. Unfortunately, I couldn't access either from where I am now.
