Hate to break it to you, but that was some scam some people tried to pull on reddit. it never went anywhere no one was ever paid to make meme.

This story was pushed out because the NYT reported about the Hilary super-pac Correct the Record that pays people to "astroturf"

So move along this is just typical pro-Clinton media deflection.

I want to know more about this, this was the most interesting post here by far.

Like maybe 10 days ago this was this fund raising thing on the Donald over on reddit, it was a big mess, I think it might have been this Oculus guy who was trying to do it, but it was not executed properly, a couple of the mods resigned over it. This is the instance these articles are reffering to as people getting paid to make memes. 

In reality what happened was the NYT put a piece calling out CTR and highlighting how Clinton basically has to pay people to control social media. Within 6 hours the hit jobs like posted above were put out as a response. It is totally false and was just meant to detract attention from the NYT piece.
