The Internet is Serious Business.
Using several different kinds of trolls together in a script format is a common framework. Kind of like writing a novel. What characters created are actually 'felt' by the authors? If one is not careful a troll can become real inside the person. Taking advantage of a particular desire or need and exploiting it for profit. They could come back and haunt you like the monster did to Dr. Frankenstein.
How many of the listed troll behaviors do you manifest?
Can you get into a 'character behavior' and sell the product?
Depends on the product doesn't it?
What about those who shill and troll social forums for a living? They have to be proficient character writers. Able to 'be' the part. Sort of like what a method actor learns to express emotion on a believable level. Shills and trolls are bought and paid for by companies of industry to sell a product and follow a given script. Don't you just love the telemarketer calls late at night selling you a new security system? Pushing spam on a personal level using fear tactics to sell a false product. Bot Trolls can do the same. Some are quite good!
Those with the skills create more than one account and script agendas either for fun or purpose. Its a wise thing to learn the techniques of logical fallacy. The linked article on troll behavior helps to expand the definitions incorporated within logical fallacy by showing some practical and not so practical examples.
All in all, I guess it's best to be a little wary of the trolls and what they do. The negativity associated with their company can be quite harmful. Knowing their techniques and tools is important in helping people to decide for themselves what is real and what is fantasy. Be careful what you believe in. The trolls know and they exploit your wants and needs to sell, sell, sell.
