1. "In 2022 and 2023 — years during which Rozhkov published at least three dozen Real Reporter videos — RT paid him 15.7 million rubles ($181,600 at today’s exchange rate), according to the data, which was provided by a source with access to official tax records."
2. "In fact, it shows only one significant source of income: During those years, Fancy Nerds received a total of about 45 million rubles ($520,000 at today’s exchange rate) from ANO TV Novosti, RT’s parent company."

Not really a secret but nice to see actual numbers being published. I didn't know it's so profitable to be a shill.
Maybe I need to consider a change in career.

Dear FSB tovarash who's reading this... you don't need to pay me $520k, for only $1k a month I will only post pro-Russian comments on this forum. Please get in touch with me in PM

Why even bother, western troll farms pay way more. Just look at what kind of income Peter Zeihan brings in.

For employment just go on Reddit, look for a random profile with 10+ anti Russia posts a day, and how they're to blame for every problem known to man, and then ask them who employs them. You can also find these shills on Quora and Youtube.

But make sure your shill resume is top notch when you send in your application. The bigger loser you are the better chance you'll land the job.

US, UAE and SA do this too, not just Russia. I know at least a dozen youtubers who got paid

USA does this a lot but in foreign countries, for example in China during COVID. The US' wettest dream has always been a revolution in China. But it's not gonna happen and I think they know it.

I do not believe the US has done too much propaganda internally (on social media, they did on TV but obviously nobody watches it anymore) but I am confident they will start to do it more aggressively on social media, especially since Trump is in power as this is how you assert control on your population in this new propaganda age.

propaganda words are much cheaper and more effective than weapons, developed infrastructure or the well-being of people living in the country

That’s nothing, if you commit to doing this full-time for the EU, they'll hand you a six-figure salary (tax-free, of course), a cushy retirement plan, and complete immunity from real accountability.

You’re all joking, right? There’s no way you can actually make money from that! Maybe if you have 1 million followers on Instagram, Facebook, or a ton of YouTube subscribers, but let’s be real, not many people have that.

I'll do it for free
