I see where you are coming from, and yeah the natural progression of capitalism would certainly tend to lead to outsourcing or automation. I do not know what era Chris was discussing, but I trust him enough to not lie about something like this. It is possible to identify a lot of Turf on Twitter because the account name is literally part of a word or name, usually incomplete, followed by eight random digits. The number of digits never really seems to even change. I would suspect that yes, that is automation (or at least botting to create sock accounts).
NDAs also exist. I mean, video game publishers subject people to this sort of document just for access to early releases for independent review (they aren't even monetarily compensated). I do not think we would need to assume that these far-right 'institutions' compensate workers well, but rather it's more like they enforce their will through fear (revocation of access, etc), power, and their litigious reputations.
Also remember that these orgs over time filter out people who aren't ideologically aligned. This probably isn't the kind of job you get straight out of college, theres been a vetting process.
I seriously doubt they are paying Americans a GOOD wage(It has to be good, or else they would be leaking info) to do this.
Don't underestimate the return on investment for doing this, It keeps the population asleep, it spreads Americas neoliberal capitalist ideology around the world.
Can't remember the name of it, but there's a wikipedia "editor" account who apparently never sleeps, and spends every waking moment of his life editing articles about journalists, relating to american wars, foreign policy, coups etc etc.
