 Paid protest (Perplexity AI)Here is what I found so far... Please let me know if anything is false or inaccurate. Because I do want to know. The claim that some companies have offered to hire people for protests—like Crowds on Demand and Demand Protest—is partially true, but much of the viral information about these companies is exaggerated or misleading, and credible evidence about actual hiring numbers or payments is extremely limited. Crowds on Demand Crowds on Demand is a real company based in Los Angeles that openly advertises services for providing paid participants for protests, rallies, PR stunts, and events. The founder, Adam Swart, has confirmed that they have provided actors for a range of events, including political protests, corporate PR events, and even celebrity entourages. However, the company states that their activities are legal and clearly disclosed to clients. Numbers and Pay There is no verified public data on how many people Crowds on Demand has actually hired specifically for protests. Media reports sometimes cite typical payment ranges between $15–$50 per hour for participants in public events and demonstrations, but reliable statistics or records on total hiring are not available. Crowds on Demand's actual business scale appears to be limited and not widespread (e.g., not thousands of hired protesters). Demand Protest Demand Protest emerged in viral news stories in 2017, claiming to be an agency that hired people for protests and counter-protests. However, journalists and fact-checkers found no credible evidence the company existed or operated as described: The website for Demand Protest was taken down, and attempts to contact or verify the company’s real-world operations failed. Investigations suggest it may have been a hoax or social experiment—no evidence supports that anyone was actually hired or paid through Demand Protest. Summary Table Company Real? Hires for Protests? Verified Hires Pay Range Crowds on Demand Yes Yes Not publicly known $15–$50/hr (reported) Demand Protest Unconfirmed/Hoax No verifiable evidence None confirmed None confirmed Conclusion Crowds on Demand is a real PR firm that has legitimately provided paid actors for protests and stunts, but there’s no transparent data on total hires or payment amounts. Demand Protest appears to be a hoax; there is no evidence anyone was ever hired by them. The scale of “hired protesters” is much smaller than viral rumors claim, and actual figures and payment details remain unverified. Now the real question.... have any of those hired people gotten violent? or been convicted of vandalism or violent Acts? Answer ( There is no credible evidence that Crowds on Demand or Demand Protest have ever directly hired individuals who became violent, committed vandalism, or were convicted of violent acts during protests organized by these companies. Crowds on Demand’s CEO has publicly stated that the company rejects requests for protests that would include illegal activity, violence, or vandalism, and emphasizes that their business model is focused on legal, permitted advocacy events. No documented cases link Crowds on Demand to criminal convictions or violent acts stemming from their paid protester services. Demand Protest lacks any credible evidence of real operational activity or hired participants, and it has not been tied to any incidents involving violence or vandalism—it is widely considered a hoax or fictitious entity. In summary, neither company has been legally implicated in violence or vandalism by hired protesters, and their services—as described in reliable sources—do not promote or tolerate illegal activity. Everybodys looking to make a Buck. Our political systems have for over a decade, switch from the politics of competing ideas and competition. To adversarial. And then the politics of Contempt! Why switch to the politics of Contempt? (Both sides) Because when contempt is involved, facts don't matter. |

<A network of 198 groups aligned with the Democratic Party does exist, with collective revenues of $2.1 billion annually, but this doesn't equate to paying individual protesters.> Like I said, Whack A Mole. No W2s, just untraceable laundered cash disappearing into the void. To create plausible deniability, one funding distribution source pops up for a while then disappears as the next pops up for a while then disappears in turn. Rinse repeat. |
