People could submit random social media comments/posts that were critical of Israel, and if you went to that site and commented, you got “points” that could be redeemed for gift cards.
Not much money, but it was all online so people from a lower income country could make decent money off it compared to local employment.
It’s good people are finally talking about all the propaganda Israel puts out tho. But it’s not a new development. They’re just switching from humans in poverty to AI.
Hell, we’re probably better off if they think AI can do as good of a job at this as humans.

Mentioning the act.il app on Reddit used to get you banned from a lot of the major news/politics subs
Before they had bots, they had the Act.il app.
