Is that a good rate for shitposting? I'm not going to lie, if they made trolling without some shitty political agenda a salaried role with benefits, you can bet your ass that I'd be applying. At .50/post though? More worth it to do it for free at that point.

It was 50 cents in Chinese Yuan, which is about 8 cents in U.S. Dollars.

Well I've seen loads of articles saying people in China get paid 50 cents a day to make Nike trainers so these guys must at least be middle class over there.
