Is this article for real? On a topic where one would expect citizens chasing for public good, we find marketers and advertisers working for a wealthy businessman paying a convictionless campaign to become famous! And the advertisers are so proud of it, they give all the details of their Reddit cheating, and worse, all the details of the absence of political conviction of their wanna-be-politician client. Maybe the story is real, but I cannot believe the advertisers are dummy enough to be the ones writing this article. I would better think of someone related to Fiverr.com behind... [edit: or an enemy/competitor of the politician]
