Real Estate Industry Vested Interests paying Shills and Spruikers to post on Forums!

[Revert2Mean]

A huge problem in society today is that the media and the blogosphere are dominated by the one-percent. They control everything, the news we read and watch, the "truth" that they drip fed to the unthinking masses, to the 99 percent.

It was recently revealed that the real estate industry actually pays spruikers and shills to post positive spin on forums and blogs (yes even forums like this one) to talk up the market, to post as if they're just one of the 99 percent, a normal person, when in fact they are part of the corrupt 1% feeding us their lies and propaganda.

Read the blog below and watch the included video for evidence:

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog, or a paid property spruiker


The public needs to open their eyes. To stop believing what they you read and watch in the mainstream press. The problem is the 99 percent don't read forums like this. They don't find out the truth. So pass this on, pass the message on to everyone. Tell your friends what's happening. Make them read this blog. Make then watch the video. Above all, remember, the 99 percent are fed lies by the 1 percent and this is a huge obstacle we must overcome. But in time, the truth must come out. It always does. We are the 99 percent.

I believe there are many itullip members who are part of the 99.

I seem to recall reading an article several months ago about this. When googling, I couldn't find that particular article again, but here's another one just a few days old from the BBC:

Fake forum comments are 'eroding' trust in the web



Fakes in comment forums and social networks can erode trust in what we see online

Trust in information on the web is being damaged by the huge numbers of people paid by companies to post comments online, say researchers.

Fake posters can "poison" debate and make people unsure about who they can trust, the study suggests.

Some firms have created tens of thousands of fake accounts to flood chat forums and skew debate.

This article even includes a link to a recent academic paper on the subject of paid posters in China. The U.S. military does this as well, but don't worry, it is only to fight terrorists, of course.

I have suspected there has been some astroturfing in quite a few places.
