TLA, pay TBD


> Three Large Arrows is not another Three Letter Agency. For starters, TLA would never assassinate civil rights leaders or overthrow Latin American democracies for the benefit of corporate interests. Nor would they perform highly illegal experiments on the public without their consent. It might shock Americans if they knew what the three letter agencies nominally aligned with their government were really up to. So it's kinda messed up that a recent survey indicated that the public trusts the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. more than the hypothetical group of anarchists who dox Nazis and publish information about local police forces to the communities they oppress. Another cointelpro move, or just marketing? (what's the difference, really?).


Bill Grep rated this passage as 6/10 for style and 3/10 for believability and earned 6 cents for the job. His ratings deviated from the group averages significantly so Bill's future earnings have been adjusted to 5 cents per job. Minimum payment is 3.9 cents per job, so at least he was still above that. At this rate he was still on track to pay rent on time without incurring a late fee.


> Carpeli completed the delivery two minutes outside the app's estimate. It'd be technically illegal to fine him for this, so instead he has forfeited his 5% on-time delivery bonus. Without the carrot, how else will these human resources learn that time is money? If the libs want to reform the stick so badly, why don't they pay my tax bill for me?


Bill rated this 2/10 for style and 2/10 for believability. Success! His ratings matched the average rating and his pay rose to 7 cents per job. If he continued to rate text the way others rated, it was within the realm of possibility that as much as $10 could be paid toward the principal of his educational loans. Since his comment that "Carpeli sounds like a fake name" matched comments by other reviewers, he was awarded 10 points toward his daily bonus pool. This put him in third place for the daily bonus challenge which today was a $5 gift card for the BigTree digital store.


WriteRight, the flagship BigTree content subsidiary, needed raters to tune their prose generator and the raters needed WriteRight to stay housed and fed. Truly a symbiotic relationship if there ever was one. Bill was very grateful for his job but even a loyal employees like himself knew that actually reading, processing, and rating each block of text was a Sisyphean task. He had worked for BigTree for nearly a year and at this rate the loan he took out for the standard work-from-home kit (BigTree tablet, company wireless gear, voice assistant module, and re-furbished headphones) would never be paid off.


> The thing about Three Large Arrows you gotta know is this: You can't join. It's not real and even if it was it wouldn't be what you think it is. If you want to dox Nazis and the police with blood on their hands for your comrades to punch then you're going to have to build your own god damn intelligence network and maintain your own distributed databases that track the social graphs of chuds and their enablers.


4/10 style, 9/10 for believability. This rating was perfectly in line with other reviewers. More importantly, Bill had found what he was looking for on the net. All he had to do was sit with the tablet near the Voice Assistant and pretend to read. A dangerous thought flashed in his mind. "What if my boss finds out about all the reviewers pretending to review? Maybe if I spill the beans I'll get a raise".
