No we don't. We get paid a straight $27/hr which includes a 5 posts, 50 comments, and 20 assists (coordination with other Visibility Experts, as we're called on paper) minimum per hour quota. Our time is divided between twitter, here, reddit, and facebook. We have to use the accounts they give us so they can check that we're meeting the quotas, so we don't actually spend much time here because they don't show up. The only time we're here is to drop links to spheres that we do control, or at least have influence in, like the conspiracy subreddit, if it's kinda related.
We honestly don't care if our comments get replied to or not, DV'd or not, because it's literally all about making it look like our ideas are popular, and everyone wants to feel like they're part of the "correct" group. It's actually super effective against everyone except the contrarians, but they don't believe anyone, anyway, and everyone else gets tired of their "SSN is a slave tag, you're born with debt against a bond with your name on it" bullshit. Like homeless dudes yelling at the wind.
It's a pretty sweet gig. Work from home remotely 9 days per week, meetings/"training" once per pay period at the office (ever wonder why shill posts seem to subside some days?), benefits are pretty decent, most weekends off. And you get to make crazy posts on the internet to see how many dummies follow you. It's actually kinda fun, like a real-life-LARP vidya.
Like I said, it'll all a game. You think the world will end if liberals get power, they're convinced the world will end if you get/keep power. Actually, playing off the "good vs. evil, us vs. them" is one of our most successful tactics.
No it wouldn't end the day Liberals take power. The course of humanity, slow moving hulk that it is, would be steered in a direction that will affect the next generation, not you. You're taking full advantage of an easy lifestyle while ruining the ability of future generations to access that. Nihilism is purposeful ignorance of repercussion. "It's all a game". You will be judged. You will pay a toll for your easy lifestyle. Probably not in this life.
Don't worry too much. It won't be fire and brimstone. Just a shittier world you and I will respawn into. Things will suck a bit more on every level and we as a species will have built that. Extrapolate that cycle a thousand more years and where are we? We do reap what we sow.
God isn't top down authoritarianism as the Bible portrays it. He is your fellow man. When you look another human in the eyes that is God. Love you. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you decide to earn a living in a way that doesn't trash the future, because we are both going to have to live in that future.

Do you ever feel any remorse about the direction you might be steering the world?

I hope you're wrong, what with me burning the candle at both ends.
But you seem nice, and not all yell-y. Best of luck to you.
