What does "a decent buck" amount to, these days? How much does it take to get people to sell their reputation to an unethical marketing firm?

$16-$20.

Not a lot for Westerners, but that is a week of wages in a place like Ghana. Decent pay for re-posting popular content.

I think that is just enough to make it worthwhile even for a poor American. If you can coordinate and plan ahead a little you would break minimum wage.
Any similar place where you can buy or sell hackernews accounts? Trying to figure out how these downvote farms get accounts at scale.
