Yeah, it is.  I don't know how many times I've heard the "posting for pennies" thing from people when they're raging against shitposters, but it's not true--especially when bitcoin is above $10k.  It's not a small amount in some cases.

Anyway, great data collection suchmoon.  I really don't keep track of who's been banned and was actually surprised to see cellard, zazarb, and a couple of other members on that list.  I think I remember seeing a few members being kicked out of the Chipmixer campaign but I don't exactly remember why.  Very interesting stuff here. 

If you're being paid to post, there's an incentive--and I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with that.  If you know how to write and can make your posts even the least bit interesting, it's OK to post more than you usually would if you weren't getting paid.  It keeps the discussion flowing and obviously benefits the member who's in the campaign.  The problem is and always has been the idiots who have to post outside their local boards in a language they can't write AND about something they likely have no interest in (crypto).  I don't think most of the people on the list here fit that description, btw.
