I didn't have a main job I think I could easily write 100 posts or more a week.
And if "generic posts" are enough for the campaign you're in, you could do that on several accounts. That's a very decent salary in most countries.

However, the problem is that there's some pretty poor quality users in the campaign, as there's in a lot of the signature campaigns. So, I don't think it's specifically a Stake problem, except that their guidelines do encourage low quality spammers
The difference with other campaigns that hire shitposters is that Stake actually pays quite good, and in Bitcoin instead of some made-up token.

but it's up to the manager to actually vet the applications, and get those types of users out of the campaign, and reject any future low quality posters.
This topic was created 4 years ago, and they're still paying spammers. I don't get it though: with their long-term budget and a bit more effort, they could hire users who's posts people actually read.

What about a script that monitors the posts of signature campaign participants (or all Bitcointalk accounts, for that matter) and immediately throws them into some sort of AI which has been trained with labeled datasets of shitposts and good posts.
MindlessElectron removes spam from Newbies based on keywords.
An "AI" sounds a lot like an "algorithm" that decides what you see, like any social media nowadays.

If a post matches the 'shitpost' category with some high probability, it is going to be logged on a webpage. Whoever wants to, can browse through there and quickly report posts

Bonus points if this software only shows the content, no usernames and avatars or signatures. Judge purely based on post quality.
That won't work: in many cases you can't judge a post without context. Depending on who posts it, a simple "Yes" can be a valuable post.
