Samsung agency is buying off StackOverflow users 
Anyone who finds this shocking, I have news for you; every large company has been and is doing this type of astroturfing all over the internet for well over a decade now.I guess it can be surprising when you get asked to participate in it directly, but every type of site that's driven by "the public" (Slashdot, Digg, reddit, Twitter, Stack Overflow, etc.) is going to be a target for this type of activity.It's usually pretty obvious, and I think if we ever want it to stop I think it's important to publicly shame companies who do it like this.
