While I think that reasoning is plausible, I highly doubt it's the case here. Gfy doesn't carry any weight anymore as far as traffic, it's why paid sigs have all but died. There are dozens of other boards that would be a much better outlet to try and influence others political views. The only scenario where I could see that happening is if Blade was posting the same threads across dozens of boards simultaneously using forum posting software, and there is no evidence of that. Also, if he indeed was incentivized to start posting as he has been, why would he continue to be compensated after the election was over.
