But they didn't do the same, Lula didn't run bot farms. That's qualitatively different than paying organizers.
You're the one equivocating between running bot farms and paying organizers, so I'll ask again: do you not believe organizers should be paid? It's a simple question, don't know why you won't answer.
EDIT Wait, I think I see the problem: you think bot farms are people.
They're not, bots are automated systems with very few people involved.
