They are so easy to spot and they don't have actual arguemnts - just a list of pro-Hillary talking points and some lame insults to hurl at Trump. The fact that people need to get paid to support Hillary is laughable.
Trump has Reddit, /pol and internet trolls in general on his side that do professional work pro bono. Pepes won't post themselves you know.
I don't see how having to inflate your numbers with bots is any better than paying people to do it. Saying one is better than the other would have to come from a position of bias. Both situations are misinformation campaigns.
