[MangoJ]

How much do I have to pay for you to stop posting on this forum? 

Who?  The OP?

[MangoJ]

Just make offers, IDK How much...



You dont even have to tell me what to say, just give me a category/subject of what to talk about.
I Will talk about anything!

Anyone want to pool in on this for an Obama troll?  By phone? for youtube?  =D

Finally, some kind of market opens for trolls.. all the best.

I'm sure some finance guy will turn this into a tradeable security for us 

[uMMcQxCWELNzkt]

I will troll for 5% less than what the OP charges.

I will troll for 5% less than what the OP charges.

And here comes the downward financial pressure due to the low barrier of entry.

I suggest someone set up a school/academy/institute of trolling so that qualifications can be earnt.

Perhaps some sort of professional body that can oversee the quality of trolling?

There will be an annual mandatory joining fee.

If that doesn't raise the standard and cost of professional trolling, nothing will.

It's a dying industry - the glory days are behind us.

It's a dying industry - the glory days are behind us.

It's been taken over by the big guys - no room for a small entrepreneur any more.

Alas, the mom and pop shop just aren't profitable anymore. Every week, hundreds go out of business.

Once you've factored in keyboards, training and all the reading you have to do, there's just no money in it.

It doesn't help with H1B visas flooding the market with cheap trolls.

We should lobby for stricter controls on quality trolling.

We only need 100,000 votes to get a governmental response.

Even the documentation is out of date. It's a disgrace.

This thread brings out everyone's inner troll. It's scary - what have we become?

[prophetx]

I'm putting together a b-plan to open a franchise of troll sweat shops using chinese prisoners and child labor.

Who is down to invest? HUGE PROFITS!

We've become like a Michael Bay's movie. You have my blessing to buy air-soft pistol, and then try to commit suicide with it. Where did I put that Wal-Mart gift card..

It is not a dying industry.  There will always be people that go fanatical online, endlessly bitching about some wild cause that they take personally as if they were a lone crusader.  Crazy people do it to "be right" or to have a high number of posts on a forum, or because they think they will always be anonymous online and can talk all the shit they want.  Trolling will never die.

Corporations will always need spam and trolling to create FAKE popularity in a product.  Myspace is full of wana-be music now, and they go around "friending" everyone to spam them.  Facebook and Myspace and Twitter "friends" and "followers" are nothing more than a score board now.  Nobody honestly KNOWS who all those people are even on their own profile.  It is just another means of personal trolling by collecting "friends" as if they are just numbers.  Faceless people they will never actually talk to or get to know.

As for a quality control for trolls, the paying market will only pay when they can see a resume or example of work.
I have suggested they prank call someone and upload it to youtube for us to see how well they do.
No "trolls" have the balls to step up and prove anything as of yet.

Is that "theymos" under a new name asking why he was being banned? 

[MangoJ]

I did not intend this, but I have posted on this thread more than the troll-for-higher!
Good thing that just posting doesn't count.

These days the media portrays anyone that insults and is just a horrible person online as a "troll". Seriously is annoying when that happens, trolling is usually to annoy someone or maybe upset them, some kind of emotional response, without being detected. Posting a comment for a shitty music video like "Your music is shit" is not trolling, neither is posting "Trololololo".

I agree about saying you think music is shit.
But "Trolololol" is totally trollish.  ha ha

Maybe at the end when you're revealing it was a troll, maybe, but trolling is about people thinking you're a serious person just like they are.
