Of course that isn't necessarily true as the agent in question may instead be exploiting the client's inability to write coherently (or lack of time to spend on it)
Or it might just be a fair trade ... You probably did not mean "exploiting" in that manner. Far more exploitation is going on in the cultic 'unpaid model'. But for real life PR companies, buying Wikipedia time and expertise would be a very cheap and efficient bang for their bucks.
Part of the 'free market model' of society is that workers actually get paid for their labor, and part of the 'democratic model' of society is that they have some rights to the fruit of their labor.
It really is only the 'cultic religion model' that have such a disparity of incomes between the workers and the bosses, and offer no rights.
You can't eat barnstars, share them to your children, or even trade your admin status.
Has anyone started trading 'edit histories' yet? Its just another commodity after all.
Funny, but even your own editing history is not your own property on the Pee-dia.
I am thinking of mass producing edit histories in the Far East. In the meanwhile, let me buy yours ... 'Caucasian' edits are still more powerful and worth more than 'Asian' edits, currently, but in the future, as China comes online, that might change.
