RE: How To Spot A Paid Troll And What To Do When You Find One

in #culture8 years ago

I had someone accuse me of being a troll--on my own blog! Another one accused me of trolling his page, when he was actually posting on a public forum. Some people seem to think anyone who disagrees with them is a troll.

Sort:  

That's partly why I wrote this article: so people can more easily tell. Obviously, I wouldn't accuse someone of trolling by posting on their own blog. That's stupid. Your second example also sounds like a ridiculous accusation, in terms of possessing a forum post -- just sounds like a dense person. Having said all this, I have no idea of you're a troll or not lol.

Yeah, I have no idea either, but I don't believe that I am, and that's never been my intention. There was no ideological test to pass to join Steemit, but the first accuser seemed to think I was trolling this whole platform because I didn't agree that Hillary was as bad a choice as Trump, and because I used to be a journalist and I understand that sources of information must be evaluated for credibility.

Maybe I should look into that paid troll gig. Does it pay better than editing, do you know?
