You guys really need to step up your game.  
  
If someone is paying you to discredit a target, spamming threads with things like "Monero is a scam!" and "The devs stole Monero!" shows an embarrassingly shallow knowledge of software development and  technology.  
  
It doesn't discredit your target at all really, it just sends up a big flag that someone is paying for a negative social media campaign.  
  
Similarly, posting useless comments such as "Oh boy, I sure love Monero.  It's just golly gee the best.  I even made a new account just to say this." does nothing for an asset you have been paid to promote.  This is one dimensional, level one pumping.  
  
Genuine users who dislike a target tend to ask uncomfortable and difficult questions to raise doubt about an asset.  Users who genuinely are interested in an asset ask a slightly more positive version of those same questions.  
  
I recognize that there will always be paid shilling on the Internet, but if you guys could step your game up it would at least make wading through it a little more entertaining for the rest of us.  

Here's a guide from Reddit about how to spot trolling and shilling, and appropriate actions to take when you see it:

What do you think will Monero replace Bitcoin in 1, 2, or 3 years?

Oh, my imaginary wife? A doc says there's a pill that'll get me to stop. Unlike my goings-on with my imaginary wife, the pill has some verifiable facts behind it. Tongue

I like how you specifically linked a guide from a conspiracy subreddit. How about next time post one on how to spot chemtrails too.

The plan always was to get a good enough job via the degree that would eventually help me repay the student loan. Fast forward 12 years: I am near-broke with a below-average salary job and a couple extra grand built up in interest on the loan. The loan agency will not make any deals with me to reduce the monthly payments, so basically I can either make my loan payment _or_ have food and a roof above my head.
Thanks from a broke ex-neuroscientist.

My God...  It must make him furious that I dropped out of college and joined the global war industry and make plenty of money (and they paid off my student loans too).   
 
Nutilda, that isn't fair.   That's horrifically unfair. 
 
And it's happening all over the world to people like you. 
 
But, there is hope.  Hope for all of us. 
 
Hope that we will be the next generation of ultra rich, and we won't make the same mistakes our forefathers did. 
 
And Nutilda.... The name of that hope?  Monero. 
 
Stop your shilling and join the good guys; this is where you belong.

The actual jobs are very few and far between, but as you can tell, when they get hired, they are expected to go all out.

What I want to know is how can the MoneroBots be so closed-minded that they don't realize what is going on here. AP was hired to make Monero look stupid -- by God knows who.

At least I have the satisfaction of knowing I make a tangible contribution to society for a living instead of just trying to leech off of people with lies and manipulation. Man, what a waste of a lifetime that would be. They are going to feel terrible on their deathbed.
