I believe bashers are assigned based on specialty to some extent. I think a lot of them are ex-cons. A few like Meifud and LOL have excellent writing skills. It helps convince people because why would someone who sounds so smart do this for a living. But if they are this literate and knowledgeable, certainly they could get an honest job which would pay more then being assigned to a couple penny stocks to bash.

Thi would have to be the best they could do whichs make me think some likely have criminal histories that got them removed from a real job or prevented them getting real jobs. Again just my speculation
