I think people would notice if either of them did.

At least Chipit is beneficial to the site.

Is he?

In this thread he tried to shut down a discussion, without raising any reasoning, information or even argument.

And then tried to encourage people to block someone with the bat-shit-crazy conspiracy theory that they're paid to come to post at this site.

Does that benefit the site, or is there something else he's doing the you claim benefits the site?

To be fair, Hillary was caught using a team of people who would post on reddit in support of her. They were paid employees, not volunteers. I doubt anyone would bother paying someone to post on saidit, except maybe investigators looking for leads on potential shooter or supremacist activities. But it is not crazy to understand that politicians do pay people to skew opinions on social media, it is confirmed. Of course the vast an overwhelming majority of the time it is just a hyperbolic way to shut one's ears, to say that everyone else is a paid shill, which elicits your likewise hyperbolic statement that it is a conspiracy theory that doesn't actually happen.

I hope she declared it as campaign spending.

I doubt it too. If chipit doesn't doubt it, I wonder what he's smoking.

Of course.
