The Admin had a simple proposition. The goal of the subreddit was to circlejerk. This isn't a huge deal, of course. There are subs like /r/BraveryJerk, and /r/CircleJerk, etc. These subreddits have and continue to operate just fine and dandy, poking fun at trends or things on Reddit. But /r/CircleCabal had a different intention. The goal was to circlejerk about Olive Garden. It seems silly, I know, but this is where the insidious backdoor advertising thing comes into play. The people recruited into /r/CircleCabal were messaged offsite (IRC) with the promise if they could create "positive affect" with respect to Olive Garden, they would receive a payment in the form of Bitcoin. That's it. Circlejerk about Olive Garden, talk about their tasty breadsticks, their customer service, their website, or whatever....
