Torontoist catches up with Craigslist troll catchers

... or does it?

Link here.

Story's got legs, but whether it passes the smell test is another matter. Harpobots are too obsessed with message control to leave something like this sloshing around on the floor.

(H/t BigCityLib.)

Astroturf, or an army of virtual Harpobot trolls?

This could be worse than we thought.

George Monbiot flagged this just over a month ago. Mind you, when I think of how Harpobots are spawned, I think more of things like this ...

Trolling for trolls! Again!

They're baaaack.

With all the same code words, too: left-wing bias of the major media outlets, we'll supply the talking points, and we're counting on you to construct facts ...

What planet do these people live on? Not only are they relying on hiring penny-ante shit-disturbers, they're not even trying to hide it.

(h/t BigCityLib, Kady O'Malley)

Nobody could possibly be this dumb ...

... could they? It's got to be a setup.

Ad on Craigslist goes trolling for trolls. Hilarity ensues.

Note to Harpobots: first rule of astroturfing is, don't let people know you're astroturfing.
